This is an Edwardian, 9 carat Rose Gold figural parasol handle, in the form of a swan's head, & fully hallmarked for London 1909.

The Rose Gold swans head is intricately detailed, right down to the inset glass eyes, which have a central pin to represent the iris, please see the magnified photo's to appreciate the quality.

The handle is of a finely striped & stepped cane, naturally hollow, and has a lovely patina.

The head is fully hallmarked with the makers mark 'JS', the carat mark (9/.375 for 9ct), the date letter 'o' (for 1909 - 10), & the leopards head (London).

Condition is fantastic for it's near 100 years, the outside bend of the cane has lost a thin strip from the surface (which is minor & does not detract in any way). The rose gold head is near perfect, the makers mark is slightly rubbed & one eye protrudes slightly further than the other (not a fault as such).

The handle measures approx 8" in length, with an interior gape of 2 1/4". The swans head is approx 2" long.

All in all, an extremely scarce & exquisite hallmarked Gold handle, of the highest quality.
