A gorgeous example of antique French detail : this c1880-1900 silver key pin has retained its unique slide-latch and pin back (and can be worn as a brooch if removed from suede cord) and has beautiful, intricate scrolled open work in the “bow” portion of the key. The silver finish shows the slight patina of its age without having lost its color. Although not marked, we believe it is a lower European silver content such as .800.
Key measures 2” in length.
Suspended from gray suede, adjustable in length with sliding sterling bead.
