Mid Victorian Mother of Pearl Silver Whistle Pendant gilt metal each one featuring floral openworkDATE: Victorian, c. 1860 Large and striking mid Victorian (working) whistle pendant with silver top and mother of pearl body. The mother of pearl has a gorgeous iridescent sheen as it moves through the light (which is proving quite tricky to capture with the camera). With stylised shell motif to the front and back, and a bail for wear on a chain. Most probably designed to recall the hounds. STONES Mother of pearl MEASUREMENTS 7. 3 x 2. 6cm WEIGHT 20.
