Large pair of silver pheasants

Sold

This impressive pair of antique pheasants, a cock and a hen, are modelled from sterling silver and carefully hand-chased for a finely detailed finish. Each model has a detachable head and hinged wings, features that allowed these ornamental objects to be imported as functional items, therefore avoiding import duties.

Game birds are a traditional table decoration and this larger than average pair would make an exceptional centrepiece.
