This sentimental stickpin, dating to around 1910, is mounted with a photographic portrait of a woman, set within a simple brass bezel, most likely a family member preserved as a keepsake. The miniature is not a paper print, but rather a photographic transfer onto a domed white base, hand-tinted to accentuate the sitter’s features. The portrait retains a vivid presence despite its intimate scale. Its survival more than a century later speaks to the enduring value once placed on family bonds and the intimate practice of carrying a loved one’s image close to the heart.
The pin measures 6,5 cm long
In perfect antique condition. No major visible dents or scratches. The pin is completely straight. Fully cleaned, and ready to wear!
