♥️ Description ♥️
These stunning vintage earrings feature delicate real butterfly wing inlays, depicting a beautifully handpainted lady in a dress, enhanced with shimmering gold foil detailing. Likely from the Thomas L Mott/Shipton range (patent 202213), these earrings capture the elegance and artistry of the early 20th century. The hooks are a different shade than the rest of the earrings, so these are not silver. However the earrings are hallmarked on the bases. There is some tarnish to the sterling silver, and the butterfly wings show some wear, including small brown spots on the blue sections.
♥️ Dimensions ♥️
Length: Approximately 4.5 cm (with hook)
Width: Approximately 1.5 cm
♥️ Age ♥️
Likely from the early to mid 20th century, in line with Thomas L Mott/Shipton's patent designs.
♥️ Condition ♥️
These earrings are in good vintage condition with gentle wear consistent with age. There is some tarnish on the silver, and the hooks are different color. The butterfly wings show signs of age, including small brown spots to the blue wing area. Overall, the earrings still retain their unique charm and would make a perfect addition to any vintage collection. Clean gently with a soft cloth to preserve their beauty.
