Antique Victorian Silver & Amethyst Scottish Grouse Foot Kilt Pin

Prezzo unitario
per 
Imposte incluse.

This exceptional antique sterling silver Victorian Scottish grouse foot kilt pin is a very large size and a superb quality piece.

Large antique grouse foot pins like this magnificent example were originally part of highland traditional dress along with sporrans, belts, buckles and brooches and they were worn by men on the kilt rather than the smaller more feminine versions that were worn by the ladies. The grouse is the national bird of Scotland.

The grouse foot has very long slender scaly claws and dappled brown feathers, it is mounted in a beautifully engraved elegant sterling silver cuff that is set with pale purple faceted amethyst in a rex/crown gallery. A regal amethyst set ring adorns the middle toe. The amethysts have been tested and verified using the Presidium Gemstone Tester.

A fabulous example of this type of exceptional Scottish jewellery and a real treat to find a genuine Victorian example too. Traditionally worn on scarves, hats and coats as well as kilts grouse foot pins were very fashionable attire worn by well heeled attendees at game shooting parties held at Scottish country estates. The pins were worn as good luck charms to bring luck to the hunt – but obviously, not to the poor old grouse!

Whether you’re looking for an impressive antique pin to wear on a kilt or a unique statement brooch for your winter jacket this may be just the ticket, highly collectible too!
