Pheasant Enamel Tie Tac

A cock pheasant stands in profile on a cream enamel ground, tail sweeping out behind him, painted in the russets and bottle greens of the bird itself. The oval panel is framed by a polished silver-tone rim and hangs from a plain bar.

Small enough to sit quietly on a plain tie, and best worn around the middle of the knot where the pattern of the cloth is at its simplest. It suits a country shirt and tie as readily as a tweed-jacket-and-tattersall sort of day, and it holds the tie in place rather than just decorating it.

• Oval enamel panel with a painted pheasant
• Cream ground, silver-tone frame and bar

Shooting men tend to know someone who would take to it, and it is an easy thing to give.
