This exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver baby rattle has been modelled in the form of a trumpet.

The rattle retains the original sterling silver loop handle with four articulated, functional bells; this portion of the handpiece retains the central ring loop attachment.

The sterling silver body of the rattle/leadpipe is embellished with an applied rope twist decorated border, entwining the length from the mouthpiece receiver to the trumpet's bell.

The embossed body of this antique baby rattle incorporates a whistle, accessible from the trumpet's mouthpiece.
