This elegant early tie clip with gold-plated finish, features a sculptural Art-Nouveau design in a stylised female figure with flowing hair, rendered in fine relief and placed on a round mother-of-pearl mount. The clip employs a push-pull mechanism similar to "The Wedge" system patented by Thomas Morton in England. The reverse is stamped with; "PAT. E. 61875" - likely referring to a Spanish patent issued in the same decade. This piece reflects both the technical modernity and elegant decorative design of Art-Nouveau, just as such accessories were becoming fashionable across Europe.
The clip measures: 3 cm long and is best used with a Vintage or antique style tie and shirt, attached to the point (see illustration in the pictures). Alternatively, it can also be worn with a narrow modern tie.
In Perfect Antique condition. No major visible dents or scratches. Mechanism works perfectly, Gold-Plating is fully intact! Fully cleaned, and ready to wear!
