Antique Gold-Plated French Fox Brooch Hat Pin FIX B1529

This exceptionally rare fox brooch is from Fix, a century-old French brand. The fur on its head is exquisitely carved, revealing a hint of its teeth with a lifelike expression. It is also a seldom-seen upright style pin. A hallmark of this brand is its thick gold plating (14K or 18K gold), resulting in a beautiful metallic hue. This brooch is currently in excellent condition! Material: Gold-filled. Substantial and in very good condition. Total length 5 cm, main body 1.3x1 cm. Here are a few small details I'd love to share: One of the photos shows an advertisement from that era, which was reproduced from a jewelry book. The approximate year is 1907-1913. Therefore, this brooch is at least 100 years old... The pin's design is a STOCK PIN, typically used by equestrians, fox hunters, and the like. In the event of an injury or accident while outdoors, this pin could be used to fasten a bandage, making it a functional yet beautiful accessory!
