A wonderfully characterful antique lapel pin depicting a jockey cap and whip in vivid blue and white enamel against a gold tone ground, the segmented cap dome and elegant black enamel whip framed by a finely engraved feather and leaf border. A charming piece of Victorian sporting jewellery, worn as a token of racing affiliation or simply as a fashionable nod to the turf.
