Fantastic, Highly Detailed, Vintage or Antique Sterling Silver Carved Repousse Horse Pin or Brooch.
The brooch measures approximately 1 and 11/16 inches wide, by approximately 3/4 of an inch, or about 19.05 millimeters, high, and roughly 3/16 of an inch, or about 4.7625 millimeters, deep, not including the pinback. (Included please find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Old c-clasp pinback. Stamped, "Sterling", in two places on the back, unsigned or illegibly signed.
This old pin is in good vintage condition, for its age. It will have all of the expected light surface scratches and likely a few tiny dings from normal wear. Hand polished, but there is plenty of tarnish remaining in addition to the patina intentionally preserved, as it was completely black to begin. The old school c-clasp pin back works as designed, holds securely, and the pin is still sharp and pretty straight.
A truly delightful, beautifully crafted, vintage Sterling equestrian pin. Wonderful attention to detail and dimension. Rich patina. Prettier in person than the camera could capture.
