Antique Italian 800 Solid Silver Hair Pin 1809 to 1824
Item Details
An Italian 800 silver hair pin dating to c.1809-1824. The pin is decorated with a hand holding a flower, a motif associated with the Campania region around Naples. Flat hairpins of this type were traditionally worn to support braided hairstyles and formed part of women's dress in southern Italy. This example originates from Sorrento and is marked for silver. It is in good condition for its age with visible signs of age and use, including minor dings and surface scratches. The piece would benefit from a careful clean if desired.
