An impressive large size English antique horseshoe brooch rendered in sterling silver. A traditional Victorian good luck token, the horseshoe is believed to bring good fortune and offer protection to the wearer, it was a popular jewelry motif of the era.
The brooch is repousse (hollow) and realistically detailed down to the nail heads. It measures 1-1/2" high and wide (40x40mm) and it weighs 4.6 grams. A tension pin stem with a T-hinge and C-clasp completes this charming brooch that could equally be worn as an impressive cravat or stock pin.
Excellent condition with no dents or dings and a beautiful antique patina to the silver. No hallmarks, acid tests at 925 sterling silver.
