Antique Art Nouveau Hatpins - Sterling Silver Novelty Native American Hatpins

Description

A beautiful set of four (4) Vintage Antique Genuine Sterling Silver & Copper Decorative Hatpins with Decorative stand featuring an excerpt titled “Hiawatha’s Wooing” from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem THE SONG OF HIAWATHA.
•  This piece is truly rare and is a star addition to the collections of classic poetry lovers and Native American-themed art enthusiasts alike.
•  The detailed silver Figure Heads are beautifully sculpted, with fine details and a gorgeous natural patina. (See photos for metal marks)
•  The pin with Dimpled Sphere decor consists of an extremely unique micro-designed rope-knot pattern. The Natural verdigris on the sphere adds a fantastic blue-highlight to the constructed design that only time can create.
•  The Glass-Bead capped pin refracts light as if it were something finer than artfully constructed glass. It adds a wonderful accent and pop of light to the other three pins, when all sitting upright in their original Decorative Stand.
