Edwardian 15ct Gold & Platinum Fox & Whip Brooch

541K
Written by Olly Gerrish

These brooches are really known as stock pins as they were originally worn as a safety measure to secure a stock when out hunting. In the event of an injury, the stock may be used as a temporary bandage for a horse’s leg or used as a sling for a riders arm, using the hunting stock pin to secure the stock in place. Stock pins continue to be used today by those competing at dressage, show jumping, eventing and in the hunting field. The stock pin fastens the stock in place when a traditional stock is being worn or as an embellishment to a ready tied stock. Some riders choose to wear a simple stock pin, whilst others prefer more decorative and colourful stock pins. This stock pin was made circa 1910-1920 and is 15ct gold with platinum additions on the whip. The fox head has small diamond eyes.
