Antique 15K Gold Reverse Carved Intaglio Rock Crystal Robin Hood Stick Pin

About the Item

An Edwardian rock crystal and rose gold stick pin, comprising one oval cabochon of rock crystal, reverse carved and painted, set in 15 karat rose gold, with a 15 karat rose gold pin. This exquisite reverse carved intaglio stick pin depicts a wonderfully colourful image of Robin Hood. These reverse carved intaglios are often referred to as ‘Essex crystal’, after William Essex who was well-known for creating these beautiful carved and painted pieces. The rock crystal will have been carved, with the image, and then painted in reverse, with the smallest details first. The smooth, domed cabochon of rock crystal (or quartz) is a sleek oval, holding within it, a lovely depiction of the legendary Robin Hood, holding his bow and arrow, as if to loose his arrow! This work is particularly fine and is wonderfully bright and colourful. It is quite unusual to find such a depiction in a reverse carved intaglio, more often they depict beloved pets, and animals such as foxes, dogs, and horses. The rock crystal is held within a plain, rose gold bezel, and is complete with a rose gold pin. The stick pin is in great condition, with minimal wear to the rock crystal. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The head of the stick pin measures 15.5mm long, 10.5mm wide, and 5.2mm deep (excluding pin). The pin measures 1.1mm wide, and the stick pin measures 60mm long overall. Gross weight: 2.41g Hallmarks: none, tests as 15 karat gold, circa 1910
