{"product_id":"rare-victorian-scottish-silver-kilt-pin-30075","title":"Rare Victorian Scottish Silver Kilt Pin: Stag Fetlock with Carnelian Hoof \u0026 Amethyst Intaglio Seal","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare and highly characterful antique Victorian Scottish kilt pin, modelled as a stag’s fetlock and executed with exceptional realism. Pieces of this sculptural quality and scale are seldom encountered, particularly with integrated hardstone and seal elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hoof is carved from richly coloured carnelian in a warm brick-red tone, its polished surface contrasting beautifully against the finely engraved sterling silver mount. The pommel is set with a substantial amethyst, cut as an intaglio seal and engraved with the initials “PP” — the original owner’s monogram. The seal remains crisp and fully functional, producing a clean, well-defined impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf impressive size and weight, this example is crafted in heavy gauge silver and displays confident, high-relief modelling throughout. The naturalistic detailing to the fetlock is especially well rendered, capturing both movement and texture — a strong example of mid-Victorian workmanship within the Scottish tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA decorative silver chain with safety clasp enhances both its visual appeal and period authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is fitted with a robust, heavy-duty pin mechanism, designed to securely fasten substantial fabrics including thick tartans and close-woven cloth. While traditionally worn to weight the front of a kilt, it translates effortlessly to modern wear — equally striking on a jacket, coat, or scarf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamples of this quality and presence are increasingly difficult to source, particularly with a fully functional intaglio of this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nMETAL: Sterling silver throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nGEMSTONE: Natural amethyst (13mm), carnelian approx. 12 x 16mm, Presidium tested\u003cbr\u003e\nSIZE: 3 1\/4\" (8cm) length\u003cbr\u003e\nWEIGHT: 22 grams (substantial, heavy gauge)\u003cbr\u003e\nDATE: Victorian, circa 1860\u003cbr\u003e\nHALLMARKS: None, typical for the period; acid tested as sterling throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nCONDITION: Fine antique condition with light wear commensurate with age; gemstones remain undamaged; intaglio crisp and usable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Mercy Madge we offer quality antique and vintage jewellery sourced in Great Britain.
