Victorian 14k Gold Etruscan Revival Twisted Wire Hatpin

Offered in this sale is a fine American gold-topped hatpin in the Etruscan
Revival style. The ball shaped gold top is covered with finely executed twisted
wire applied decoration, and has the rich yellow color and matte "bloomed"
finish associated with the best examples of 19th century Etruscan revival
pieces. The pin itself is gold-filled.

Condition: Fair, the top with a small dent and two small cracks along what
appears to be a seam. Without close inspection these defects are hard to
notice.
