Bidspirit auction | A 1913 Birmingham 925 Silver
A 1913 Birmingham 925 Silver Pendant and Chain - A 1913 oval pendant constructed from 925 silver, suspended from a fine trace link chain. The pendant features a hand-engraved foliate and fern design to the front face, accented by three applied yellow metal flowers and framed by a rope-twist border. It is attached via a tapered bail with engraved detailing. Struck to the right of the central floral spray are a series of hallmarks, including a lion passant, an anchor for the Birmingham assay office, and a lowercase letter O in a shaped cartouche for the year 1913. An impressed maker's mark is present to the left of these punches but is not legible as a name. The chain is fitted with a circular bolt ring clasp. No other marks or signatures are visible on the piece.
