A fine Victorian charm in 15ct gold, modelled as a hunting horn — the coiled brass instrument whose call has been the defining sound of the British fox hunt since the 18th century. The hunting horn was one of the most enduring motifs in Victorian sporting jewellery, worn by those with a connection to the field as a mark of their passion for the chase. At 3 × 0.8cm the proportions are well observed, the coiled form of the horn rendered with clarity and precision. The charm body is hallmarked 15ct gold; the pendant loop tests as 9ct — a common arrangement where the fitting was made separately. Wearable on a chain or added to a charm bracelet. Weight 2.1g.
