Made in London, England, this is a 925 sterling silver duck head clip. Purchased at "The Silver Vaults," a famous silverware shop in London, it has clear hallmarks, including the lion passant (indicating sterling silver), the London hallmark, a date letter, and the maker's mark, making it a highly collectible piece. It is estimated to be from the mid-20th century. The entire piece is modeled after a duck's head, with an exaggerated and elaborate design. The texture of the feathers is carefully expressed in relief, giving it a three-dimensional feel. Clear blue glass is set in the eyes, giving it a lively expression. The beak is mirror-finished with smooth lines, and the handle's tip has a radiating feather-like design, combining practicality and decoration. This is a beautiful and unique piece that blends the uniqueness of an animal motif with the craftsmanship of British silverware. It will stand out as a display piece for vintage silverware collections, ateliers, or still-life photography. Total length: 22.5cm I purchased it in London 8 years ago and have kept it with great care and affection. If it goes to someone who appreciates it, I am grateful that they will carry on these feelings. I always feel that it is not us who are collecting things, but rather the things that are watching over and passing on to each of us in turn. I am truly grateful. Thank you for looking.
