Description
You will receive the beautiful solid gold 9ct c1890 pin as shown in the image
The images were taken in daylight without any additional lighting or editing.
I have provided multiple images to capture the amazing lustre of the gold which is wonderful and deep plus the lovely tiny pearls and turquoise.
The pin has a delightful scroll terminal in the shape of a flower, complete with two tiny pearls on the leaves and a turquoise stone in the centre of the flower head – it just looks superb: the pearls and turquoise look amazing against the gold.
It was clearly made by a very experienced and skilled jeweller!
This wonderful antique pin is marked “C W S” and “9CT” as shown.
With the original high end retailer’s box:
“Pidduck – Goldsmiths and Silversmiths
St Ann’s Place
Manchester“
There is a crown just under the retailer’s name which shows that they had the Royal Warrant.
The initials are for Casimir Widmer & Sons who was registered in Chester at the end of the nineteenth century.
The box is in amazing condition with the ‘Morocco’ leather exterior and the lovely blue velvet and silk interior.
Most boxes of this period have the retailer’s name printed in black on the silk – here it is in gold!
The pin looks almost brand new – as it has been well looked after and protected by the original fitted box.
The box itself has some very minor blemishes but is in overall amazing condition for it’s age.
The push button opens as it should and clicks closed nice and tight.
I have seen similar boxes just on their own sell for £30-£50.
The pin weighs 1.05g and it is 6cm in length.
An absolutely delightful antique pin in amazing condition complete with it’s original box!
