This is a beautiful Etruscan Revival 14 karat gold pin with a wonderful bird motif. This lovely pin has an architectural design with a rectangular center piece flanked on each side with a curved trapezoidal shaped piece. Each are decorated with delicate wire scrolls, applied bellflowers, and small bands of beading in the Etruscan style and with applied decoration in the form of a bird with delicate flower bouquet in his beak. The unique design of this pendant is a wonderful combination of ancient goldsmithing techniques and late-nineteenth century design. This pin measures approx. 2 5/8” long and approx. 5/8” high. The back has a simple hinged pin clasp and a C-shaped wire hook for securing it. This pin is a fine example of American jewelry design from the turn of the twentieth century, and would make a lovely addition to any jewel box!   Price: $1100.00 $950   Stock #177
