Victorian Sterling Silver & Gold Wash Porcelain Pin – Romantic Couple Scene
This charming antique pin is a lovely example of Victorian craftsmanship. Marked ‘Sterling’ on the back of its setting, it retains remnants of a gold wash finish. Measuring approximately 1 1/8″ x 1″, the pin features six double prongs securing an oval porcelain piece inscribed ’30’ on the back. The porcelain depicts a young couple in colorful period clothing, she with a parasol and he with a walking stick, as he hands her a flower. While it shows signs of age and wear consistent with its era, including some loss of the painted gold edge on the porcelain, this pin remains in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The pin opens and closes easily.
