Very rare mid 19th Century Victorian antique silver game skewer by the great Fox Family. This superb example is of rapier form, with a fully cast figure of a pheasant to the terminal. The tapering shaft is gently shaped and ribbed, the detail to the bird perched on a branch and pedestal is excellent. The skewer is of good gauge and would make an excellent novelty letter opener, as an alternative use. Maker:- Charles Thomas Fox & George Fox Hallmarks:- Clear and readable
