<![CDATA[Antique Kingfisher Feather Peacock Pin from China]]> http://www.beakchic.com/product/antique-kingfisher-feather-peacock-pin-from-china $68.00
A treasure from the Orient that’s actually two birds in one, for while the visage is that of a Peacock, the feathers are all Kingfisher.  Looking like silk or paint the electric blue areas are actually Kingfisher feathers, a crafting technique the Chinese have been perfecting for 2,000 years. While I do not believe this piece is quite THAT old, the practice was discontinued in the 1940’s so we know it’s at least 60 years old.  A close look will reveal superb detail and the fa....]]>
