QR Code Link to This Post
Intricate repousse floral design with filigreed arch and tasseled kitten heel
Probably originally designed as pincushion or trinket box
I polished it enough to make the hallmarks on the heel legible, but there is a lovely patina - selling as is.
I believe the hallmarks denote the workshop of Gebruder Neumann, renowned Hanau, Germany artisan.
And silver content (likely 800/1000 - please see detailed photos, you probably know more than I)
My elderly clients are downsizing and parting with a world of treasures, this beauty among them.
4 3/4" long measured flat
5" diagonal heel to toe
1 1/4" wide
2 1/8" tall
About 2.5 oz on my admittedly imprecise kitchen scale, but that's close.
$375 OBO
Thank you!
