23ct Gold Quiver of Arrows Brooch | William Tell Archery Club | Victorian Dated 25 August 1880
A beautifully made Victorian brooch in exceptionally high grade 23 carat gold and engraved on the reverse:
“Presented by the William Tell Archery Club, August 25 1880.”
Shaped as a quiver of arrows, a nod to skill, precision, and classical virtue, it was likely awarded as a prize or token of recognition, perhaps at a club competition or ceremony.
The reference to William Tell adds symbolic weight of honour and pride, telling the story of a proud moment in the summer of 1880.
