SOLD
SOLD OUT
REFERENCE: 63-8023
DESCRIPTION
More than a hat pin, it is a miniature sculpture celebrating the elegance and beauty of the Art Nouveau age.
Dating to circa 1915, this exquisite antique hat pin features a finely sculpted lady’s head crafted in solid 18k gold. Her flowing hair, graceful profile, and elaborate headdress are rendered with remarkable detail, perfectly capturing the artistic spirit of the Art Nouveau movement.
The female figure was one of the most celebrated motifs of the period, symbolising:
Beauty
Grace
Femininity
Artists of the Art Nouveau era drew inspiration from nature, flowing lines, and idealised feminine forms, creating jewels that were as much works of art as they were personal adornments.
The pin shaft is crafted in 15k gold and has been professionally tested. Elegant in proportion and beautifully preserved, this piece remains a wonderful survivor from the early twentieth century.
Originally worn to secure fashionable ladies’ hats, fine gold hat pins such as this were symbols of refinement, personal style, and social status. Today they are highly sought after by collectors of Art Nouveau jewellery and decorative arts.
