Most Unusual Shape Large Peacock Eye Glass Hat Pin, Antique Victorian Edwardian:
$95.00

DESCRIPTION

Antique late 19th/early 20th century hat pin. This features the most unusual peacock eye I have ever seen. It is a chunky inverted conical shape. The top surface shows the intense cobalt blue eye. The tapering sides show swirls of slightly different greens. This is attached to a metal stem and there is a gold tone bead accent--please note this looks like somebody added it later to “enhance” it. I think originally it was just the peacock eye on the stem. You can see a bit of glue under the bead. I would probably restore this to just the peacock eye and the stem. Regardless, it is a truly fabulous example.

The peacock eye glass is livelier in person, the flash has reduced some of its vibrance.
