Antique Edwardian Mother of Pearl Hat Pin Set 9 Heads Original Fitted Case

Beautiful antique Edwardian hat pin set presented in its original long fitted case, dating from the early 20th century.

The set comprises:

• Two long metal hat pins
• Nine interchangeable circular heads, decorated with striking iridescent purple/blue mother-of-pearl or shell. The colours change considerably with the light, showing vivid blue, violet, pink and silvery tones.

The largest heads are fitted to the two pins, with seven additional matching heads arranged in the fitted interior. The case measures approximately 30 cm long, with ruler shown in the photographs for scale.

A particularly attractive surviving period set, especially desirable for its large selection of matching interchangeable heads and original presentation case.

Condition: Good antique condition overall with age-related wear. Some tarnishing/oxidation and marks to the metal pins, and general age and storage wear to the fitted case and lining. The shell surfaces show natural variations and age-related marks. Please study the close-up photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
