Austro Hungarian Stag Pendant
A wonderful pendant from the late Victorian period, Austro Hungarian in origin. The pendant is a striking stag made out of silver. It has lovely detail to the face and fur of the neck and is enamelled in a soft mustard colour to the front.

It hangs on a little silver and pearl spacer chain and is complete with the original enamel bail; in this instance it is purple enamel. At the centre of the body is an oval piece of mother of pearl.
The chain pictured is for display only.
