{"product_id":"georgian-gilt-metal-lace-hand-amp-rose-pin","title":"Georgian Gilt Metal Lace Hand \u0026 Rose Pin","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exquisite antique Georgian gilt metal lace pin formed as a finely detailed hand holding a rose, with the flower carved from bone and dyed a rich red. The rose is articulated and spins gently, a delightful and highly skilled detail that brings the piece to life. The reverse is almost as finely worked as the front, a hallmark of quality Georgian craftsmanship where pieces were made to be admired from every angle.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Georgian period, the rose carried layered symbolism, representing love, beauty, and passion, but also the fleeting nature of life. Carved bone was commonly used before the widespread availability of ivory substitutes and gemstones, valued for its smooth surface and ability to hold fine detail. Dyeing bone red was particularly effective, allowing it to mimic coral, a material associated with protection and vitality, while remaining accessible and expressive. Together, the hand and rose create a powerful sentimental motif, blending devotion, affection, and craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra: Georgian\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Gilt metal \u0026amp; carved bone\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.08g\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good antique condition, with light wear commensurate with age\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements: Length approximately 2.3cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePLEASE NOTE: Only the product listed is included in the sale.
