Vintage Essex Crystal Reverse Intaglio and 14ct Yellow Gold Tie Clip – Circa 1940

An impressive vintage Essex crystal reverse intaglio and 14 carat yellow gold ‘sailboat’ tie clip; part of our diverse vintage nautical jewellery collections

This fine and impressive gent’s tie clip has been crafted in 14ct yellow gold.

The geometric, tapering and pierced decorated frame is ornamented with a feature Essex crystal hand painted reverse intaglio.

The oval shaped reverse intaglio depicts a sailboat upon waves, with two passengers.

The Essex crystal has a mother of pearl background.

The clip is struck to the reverse with the 14ct gold mark (14K).

This vintage Essex crystal tie clip, crafted in 14ct yellow gold, is best suited to occasions that celebrate sophistication, individuality, and personal heritage. The hand-painted reverse intaglio design – depicting a sailboat scene beneath domed crystal with a mother-of-pearl backing- reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and refined novelty associated with Essex crystal jewellery, which became highly prized for its miniature artistry and lifelike detail. Its elegant nautical motif gives the piece a strong sense of character and symbolism, making it particularly appropriate for milestone birthdays, retirement gifts, career achievements, or meaningful occasions connected to sailing, travel, or personal passions.

This impressive vintage sailing related tie clip is fine quality set with an impressive hand painted Essex crystal and mother of pearl reverse intaglio panel.

The brooch is a very good gauge of gold and is in excellent condition with a clear hallmark to the reverse.
