Description

Presented in its original velvet and satin-lined box, this set would make a fabulous gift of love and luck.

The lid of the box is marked "A present from The Shipperies, Liverpool 1886". The Shipperies was a Liverpool pub established in 1886 and believed to have been built as a lodging house for visitors to the neighbouring Shipperies International Exhibition of Navigation, Travelling, Commerce and Manufacture that same year. A little piece of history!

• Condition: Excellent antique condition, the pieces look as though they may not have left the box in the past 135 years. The silver has a wonderful patina, you could polish it to a higher shine if you prefer but this kind of finish only comes once in a lifetime.

• Fixing: Ear wires, C clasp.

• Hallmarks/stamps: None, test as sterling silver.

• Era: Victorian, 1886.

• Brooch size: 2.8cm diameter.

• Earrings size: 1.3cm diameter, 2.2cm drop.

• Combined weight (not including box): 9.0g.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, motifs symbolising luck, protection, and sentimental attachment were highly popular, with horseshoes frequently utilised in charms, brooches, and pins to denote good fortune.

Pieces from this period were typically crafted from sterling silver or coin silver, often featuring hand-stamped details, applied wirework, and secure C-clasps or pin stems soldered to the reverse.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate hallmarks, natural patina, hand-finished construction marks, and are frequently housed in fitted presentation boxes lined with silk and velvet.

Antique jewellery sets can be displayed within glass-topped table cases, shadow boxes, or vintage vanity trays, adding a layer of historical narrative and tactile interest to modern dressing spaces.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth to preserve the natural oxidisation, while delicate velvet and silk-lined presentation boxes must be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
