A lively and unusual Victorian reverse intaglio stickpin, set in 15ct gold and painted with a pair of jockeys mid-race.

Captured in motion behind a domed rock crystal, the scene has a playful charm and a real sense of movement - striped silks, bent knees, raised elbows.

 The detail is delicate and full of character, likely hand-painted in England in the 1880s when sporting themes were both fashionable and personal.

The gold mount is finely made and understated, letting the miniature artwork do the talking.

 A piece for collectors, horse lovers, or anyone drawn to the whimsy and romance of 19th-century sport.
