Steel will auction off her 1988-purchased brooch this spring at Gildings Auctioneers in Market Harborough, England — where it is expected to sell for between $10,000 and $16,000.
Gildings director Will Gilding told SWNS that Steel’s brooch was an obvious Burges find.
“It was clear this was another one of the designs on the page of sketches,” he said.

He added, “For it to happen once — amazing. Twice, remarkable. A third time? Pinch me!”
Gilding told SWNS the company is “honored to be playing a part in its continued history as we present it to the open market.”
