        Plaid Brooches


Plaid Brooches

laid Brooches are the traditional method of fastening the plaid, cloak or shawl at the shoulder. The Penannular (185) is the most ancient style and at one time they became so exaggerated in size and design that a law passed in Scotland forbidding the pin to protrude beyond the shoulder! The Hunterston Brooch (107) is a reproduction of what is arguably the finest remaining example in Scotland of the artistic ingenuity of the tenth century Celt. The other designs all encorporate eternal interlacings from such sources as Lindisfarne and the Book of Kells.

 

The Piper's Plaid Brooch (211) is derived from the Scottish targe, and features a raised claw set to match the Highland Dirk. The targe or target (183 also) was the shield used by Clansmen in battle; usually of wood and leather, elaborately tooled and ornamented, of ten with a central boss furnished with an iron spike - ours are more "user friendly"!

 

Each item is hand wrought in old fashioned pewter, polished and plated with palladium to give a silver appearance that resists tarnishing and scratching.
