1908 Sterling Silver Poseidon and Sea-Horse Pendant - Conversion
This pendant is made from sterling silver. It came to me as a button and I’ve converted it to make it a more wearable piece. I made the loop and chunky bale from recycled sterling silver - I’ve given the bale a hammered texture so it appears aged and I’ve soldered it shut. The pendant itself features Poseidon with his trident, standing within a scallop shell, with a sea-horse (a Hippocampus) to the right. They are framed by cresting waves around the edge. This piece is hallmarked for sterling silver, with the date letter for 1908 and the maker’s initials M&B for retailer Marples and Beasley, though I have also seen this design attributed to silversmith Maurice Freeman.
There are several available, sold separately. The chain in the last photo is for display only and is not included.
The pendant, including the bale, is approx 4.0cm long x 2.5cm wide. Weighs 5.9 grams.
Condition: Very good antique condition. Just has the usual light marks and wear which you’d expect from an antique piece.
