Description

These exceptional vintage cast sterling silver table ornaments have been realistically modelled in the form of a pair of pheasants.

Each of the vintage pheasant figurines has been embellished with details reproducing the fine definition of the plumage.

The cock is further ornamented with a pair of collet set ruby eyes and the hen has diamond eyes; when fitted to such a piece this is a sign of quality.

Condition

These vintage pheasant figurines are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The cast decoration is all very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each bird's tail are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this antique silverware.
