Comes complete in a box, a lovely gift for any Kilt Enthusiast.Kilt pins are, quite simply, pins used on the lower front apron of kilts. Though popular now, kilt pins are a relatively recent addition to kilt attire. Folklore suggests usage began in the Victorian era, and provides one with a delightful anecdote on its origins. During a visit to Balmoral Castle, Queen Victoria inspected the famed Douglas Highlanders, a regiment noted for its bravery. The wind blew fierce and one young soldier encountered great difficulty holding his position. Kilts are frequently worn without undergarments and the queen noticed the soldier's struggle to appear modest and yet stand still. Taking a brooch from her own clothing, she kindly pinned the soldier's kilt. A delightful Christmas, Birthday or Wedding gift. Approx 97mm long. High quality gift box. The manufacturers, the A E Williams family have been making Pewter since 1779. Present family members are members of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, as were their forebears and Freemen of the City of London. Historically A E Williams have produced traditional Pewterware for palaces, cathedrals, stately homes, major Film TV and Theatre Companys as well as domestic Pewterware. A E Williams continue to produce hand cast traditional Pewterware and with the addition of a modern Pewter Gift Range, collectors now have an unrivalled choice of Pewter - each piece made with care by Craftsmen.
