About the Item

These antique forehead needles are one-of-a-kind Dutch 19th century pieces of jewelry. Adorned with filigree, cannetille and seed pearls. The scenery is made of very fine filigree. This scene is called ‘cornucopia’, which means abundance or 'horn of plenty. In some Dutch fishing villages women of shipping owners and people of the middle class distinguished themselves in their fashionable clothing from the poorer wives of the fishermen. The women of the shipowners wore long hats and occasional side needles. Fishermen's wives wore a short hood and had no needles. The gold has the Dutch Oak Leaf purity hallmark, 14 Karat gold. Length: 15 cm Weight: 15.08 grams Creator: J.P.J. Driessen (Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands) These forehead needles will be beautifully gift-wrapped.
