Jeroen Zoetmulder

This hand-made, high quality gold thimble (unmarked - tested 18ct.), is possibly made in Tunisia or Armenia. Early in the 19th Century thimbles were made in Gold and Silversmiths Guilds and very rarely marked. Marking was not compulsory, cost money and therefore neglected. At this time, thimbles were made completely by hand and in two pieces. The top was made separately and with hand-punched indentations as with this gold thimble. The design is hand-carved with a broad frieze of scrolling leaves divided by polished panels over a beaded rim. The thimble is contained in a leather covered velvet lined case.

The condition is unused and almost MINT with a few light scratches due to handling over the ages.
The thimble weighs 5.9 grams. In leather case 10.4 grams.
Careful packaging will ensure a safe delivery. See my feedback on Catawiki.
