    Hunting Trophy ‘Deer Hoof Cuff Link’

    $125.00

    This antique cuff link, crafted in 835 silver, represents a traditional Bavarian hunting trophy historically worn by both men and women to attract good fortune during hunts. The integration of oak leaves and acorns with a deer hoof is characteristic of Alpine hunting jewellery and is estimated to originate from the late nineteenth century (circa 1880) to the early twentieth century (circa 1930). Incorporating the actual animal trophy, specifically the deer hoof, alongside silver representations of oak leaves and acorns, served to commemorate the hunt. Within Alpine culture, especially in Bavaria and Austria, the oak tree is regarded as the King of the Forest and symbolises a hunter's strength, endurance, and triumph. This cuff link measuring 3.2cm in length, 1.6cm in width, and 2.6cm in depth, is likely one of a pair and may represent a unique piece. The accompanying photograph depicts the actual object; only a single piece is available.   Specifications Description: Traditional hunting trophy cuff link crafted from antique silver and natural deer hoof. Date: Mid-20th century, specifically the 1930s. Origin: German or Austrian hunting jewellery Materials: 835 silver mountings and natural deer hoof. Condition: Excellent and entirely original.

Operating primarily during the mid-20th century (roughly the 1920s through the 1950s), the firm specialised in high-quality traditional Alpine jewellery (Trachten) and silver accessories. Silver Purity: Reiner & Faig pieces are most frequently found with the "835" stamp, which was the standard fineness for German silver of that era, particularly for durable items like charivari charms and hunting trophies.   PLEASE NOTE Our antique and vintage collections are second-hand items. Customers are not purchasing ‘new’, ‘perfect’ or ‘unworn items’, and as such, should expect wear and imperfections. It is expected that these pieces will show normal wear and tear, given their age.

    Antique Horn Brooch ‘Butterfly’

    $125.00

    Carved horn jewellery achieved significant popularity during the Art Nouveau era, serving as a deliberate response to the mass production characteristic of the Industrial Revolution. These pieces emphasized the artisan's craftsmanship rather than the intrinsic value of the material, resulting in each item being a unique work of art.
