VINTAGE ANTIQUE 1880'S 22kt GOLD VERMEIL STERLING REPRO Convertible PIN PENDANT

Description

Rare!
Unusual!
On one of my trips abroad,Portugal to be exact-I found this amazing 1880's button that depicts very clearly a servant boy, removing his master's boots.
The landscape of trees is also very clear, as is the master's sword.
This button, which cost me half a fortune, fascinated me and so I embarked on a research mission.
What I found was that in the 1880's, men of wealth distinguished themselves from the poor by using elaborate buttons sewn into their overcoats.Those buttons were beautifully crafted and very few are found in our days.
I got lucky and decided to make a limited edition reproduction of the button in sterling
with enamel, for one of my musum clients in the 1980's.
The project was too costly to pursue and I kept the 3 samples I made.
I am keeping one for myself and am selling
the 2 others, each one of a kind.
One pin is sterling with enamel (the one offered in this listing).
The other listed in my store is a sterling
version with enamel.
What we have here, is a convertible pin/pendant, in 22kt gold plating over sterling,
otherwise known as vermeil.
Pin is 1.5" round.
The pendant converter, also in sterling is removable and may be used with your other pins, if the length is right.
Make me a fair offer and call this amazing
pin/pendant-your own.
I WILL VERY MUCH WELCOME ANY FEEDBACK
YOU MAY HAVE TO OFFER ON MY LISTING.
