Description

21.5cm

A refined pair of sterling silver hat pins, each designed in the form of a stylised thistle, a motif long associated with Scottish craftsmanship and heritage.

The tops feature faceted amethyst-coloured glass terminals, seated above finely detailed thistle heads with textured silver work that adds depth and contrast.

The slender pins extend elegantly from the decorative terminals, retaining their original long form typical of late Victorian to early 20th century hat pins.

The combination of coloured glass and silver detailing reflects both practicality and decorative intent, as these pieces were originally worn to secure hats while also serving as subtle statements of style.

A well-matched pair, offering both display appeal and wearable potential for collectors of antique and vintage accessories.
