Description
A delightful little pin, suitable for a gentleman or a lady, featuring a bright young maiden in conversation with sweet little birds.
The pin is fashioned from gold plated silver and dates to the Art Nouveau period, circa 1890 – 1910. It is likely American in make, possibly by the firm Krementz and Co.
The face of the pin measures 16.8mm x 12.6mm x 1.5mm. The pin itself is approximately 60mm long.
It is in good antique condition with expected signs of wear for a useful piece of jewellery over 100 years old. The pin has become bent with time and use (silver is a soft metal) and the gold plating has worn slightly thin in patches, mostly along the perimeter of the face and on the pin itself.
