ANTIQUE CELTIC offers Cloak Penannular Brooch ~ Scottish Thistle Silver Victorian Cloak Brooch ~ Unisex Silver Taille d’epargne Penannular Brooch
Lovely Antique Silver and Taille d'epargné, Unisex, Celtic Scottish Thistle penannular brooch.
This hallmarked piece is from the 1870s and is 800 Silver or higher.
A Penannular is an ancient clothes fastener. The brooches were worn by both men and women, usually singly at the shoulder by men and on the breast by women.
Measuring 2 1/2" x 1 3/8", engraved swirls and thistle designs adorn the top piece. Black Enamel Tracery (Taille d'epargné) fills in the low-lying areas.
The Penannular pin works and holds securely.
Hallmarked in three places but not able to decipher. I believe this piece to be of European origin.
Exceptional condition!
Perfect gift for her or him, for wear at Medieval, Celtic events, for LARP or cosplay, or to add to your own Celtic jewelry, Penannular Clasp, Fibula Fastener, Cloak Clasp brooch, Antique jewelry, Victorian Cloak Pin, or Scottish Thistle Brooch wardrobe.
