A wonderfully detailed vintage 9ct yellow gold articulated charm, modelled after the beloved nursery rhyme The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. Crafted in the form of a boot‑shaped house, this miniature piece is rich in character and classic mid‑century charm.
The exterior features an engraved peaked roof with chimney, windows along the side, and a textured heel and toe, giving the shoe its whimsical, storybook appearance. A discreet hinge at the back allows the charm to open: the base/sole of the shoe lifts up to reveal tiny sculpted figures inside, representing the old woman and her children.Finished with a top jump ring for easy attachment to a traditional charm bracelet or necklace chain, this is a delightful and highly collectible example of vintage British novelty jewellery.
Fully hallmarked 375 on the inside of the charm.
