Antique Eagle Pin of 14k Gold

A bold antique stickpin (circa 1870-1890), designed as a finely detailed eagle perched upon a wreathed orb, crafted in 14 karat gold. The eagle, a symbol of strength and sovereignty, is rendered with impressive dimensionality, while the orb and wreath motif adds layers of classical and heraldic significance. A red paste eye provides a vivid point of contrast, bringing life and character to the figure.

The pin head measures 0.7 inches by 0.85 inches wide, with the entire stickpin measuring 2.65 inches in length and weighing 5.46 grams, giving it a substantial and commanding presence when worn. It is presented in great antique condition, with crisp detailing and well-preserved surfaces. There is a tiny loop on the eagle's beak suggesting that it likely originally had a pearl or diamond drop.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 14K gold construction. A distinctive and collectible example of 19th-century figural jewelry with strong symbolic appeal.
