Description

7.5cm

A charming antique 9ct gold stick pin featuring a finely modelled fox head terminal, presented in its original fitted case.

The fox head displays excellent character, with detailed facial features capturing the alert expression associated with one of Britain’s most iconic countryside animals.

Fox-themed jewellery became particularly popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, reflecting the popularity of equestrian pursuits and country life.

Stick pins such as this would traditionally have been worn in a gentleman’s tie, cravat, lapel or hat, serving as both a practical and decorative accessory.

The twisted pin shaft adds further visual interest and complements the sculptural fox head.

Retaining its original fitted case, this is an attractive example for collectors of sporting antiques, equestrian memorabilia, fox hunting interest, and antique jewellery.

A distinctive and highly collectable piece of country house jewellery.
