Antique Sterling Silver Golf Club and Thistle Brooch by Adie & Lovekin, 1907

A lovely piece of Edwardian sporting history. This 1907 novelty brooch is shaped like a classic golf club, celebrating the massive golf boom of the early 20th century.

Crafted from solid sterling silver by the highly collectible Birmingham silversmiths Adie & Lovekin Ltd, the brooch features an intricate spiraled handle grip and scored clubface lines. A beautifully faceted, rich purple amethyst paste stone sits nestled in the club head to represent the golf ball.
