Antique Gold Plated French Napoleon Figure Horse Tie Pin Hat Pin FIX B1864

This category of tie pins began to gain popularity around the 1830s. Initially, they were worn by wealthy gentlemen, and by the 19th century, they were widely popular. Their main purpose was to secure the folds of bow ties and ties made of silk and lace fabrics. As they were worn by a specific clientele, the materials and designs were often more distinctive. This particular pin is from the century-old French brand, Fix, dating back to approximately 1910. The last image shows it alongside a reference guide. A hallmark of this brand is its thick gold plating (14K or 18K gold), which gives the metal a beautiful luster. Considering its century-long history, this pin is in exceptionally good condition! It measures 6 cm in total length, with the main body having a diameter of 1.3 cm. Clear ear stoppers will be provided, so you need not worry about any sharp edges. * Cleaning Instructions - Wipe with a dry cloth. - Do not use a silver polishing cloth.
