A finely executed German niello bar brooch in 800 silver, shaped as a riding whip, an emblematic Belle Époque motif associated with sport, leisure, and modern outdoor pursuits. The slender form is enriched with crisp niello inlay, lending depth and contrast to the polished silver surface. The brooch is missing its centerpiece, which was likely a horseshoe in matching Niello, yet the composition remains elegant and legible. Even without the centerpiece, the brooch still stands as a subtle and evocative accessory, reflecting the refined sporting tastes of the early 20th century.
The brooch measures 5,5 cm long and features an early safety catch to secure the pin on the back.
In decent Antique condition, Some surface wear, missing centerpiece (likely horseshoe). The pin is very sturdy and in full working order. Otherwise fully cleaned and ready to wear!
