Regular price
$756.00
Presented is a wonderful 14K gold Victorian fan pin, made between the 1850s-1870s, possibly in America or Italy. The fan pin depicts a green gold parrot seated on a rose gold tree with two butterflies nearby. The parrot, tree and butterflies are all separately done and applied to the fan pin. The tree's leaves are engraved. All parts are original. This is really great work and superb craftsmanship!
The pin is unmarked, as is typical of jewelry from this time period. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 14K gold.
The pin is in excellent condition. The applied pieces are all still firmly attached. The engraving and realistic texture of the applied pieces are in great shape with little to no wear. There are no breaks, no cracks, no splits and no repairs.
The pin measures about 2 inches long.
The pin weighs 6.9 grams.
