A charming equestrian stick pin crafted from 800 silver, its horseshoe-shaped facing enriched with a contrasting band of black niello, complete with decorative polished nails. The horseshoe, would originally have been crossed by an applied riding whip, which is now missing from the composition. Despite this loss, the surviving design retains its distinctive sporting character and beautifully illustrates the popularity of equestrian motifs in turn-of-the-century jewellery.
The pin measures 6,5 cm long
In decent antique condition. No major visible dents or scratches. The niellowork has minor chipping on the top richt corner which is barely noticeable when worn. Original whip centerpiece is missing. Otherwise fully cleaned, and ready to wear!
