{"product_id":"antique-silver-ships-wheel-compass","title":"ANTIQUE SILVER  SHIPS WHEEL COMPASS","description":"\u003cp\u003eA silver compass in a ship’s wheel case by Pearce \u0026amp; Thompson of Birmingham, active between 1884 and 1914, with a strong, balanced form and well-defined construction throughout. The dial is set beneath domed glass with bold directional markers and a deep red centre, framed by a gilt border that lifts the whole piece and makes it far more versatile than a straight silver charm. That contrast allows it to sit comfortably with both silver and yellow gold chains, making it an easy addition into a mixed stack without looking out of place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a working compass, however it can be a little erratic so I wouldn't suggest it is used for orienteering!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass shows light surface wear with a tiny crack to one side, and the dial has age-related spotting, both consistent with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial silver\u003cbr\u003eMaker Pearce \u0026amp; Thompson, Birmingham (active 1884–1914)\u003cbr\u003eDiameter 2.4 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight 4.3 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celestine and Opal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56972468060491,"sku":"3873","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/2458\/9131\/files\/DSC03812.jpg?v=1776861006","url":"https:\/\/celestineandopal.co.uk\/products\/antique-silver-ships-wheel-compass","provider":"Celestine and Opal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
