The pins complement a range of attires, and are expected to be highly-coveted.

Length of stickpin head 1.6cms. 3.9gms.

Estimate:  £90  -  £140

The Lincoln Imp

The Lincoln Imp is displayed on the city's cathedral.

It has been the symbol of the city for many years.

Standing at 12 inches high (the original Imp not the stickpin), the grotesque creature is so symbolic of the city that even the football team is nicknamed "the Imps".

The original story of the Imp dates back to the 14th century.

Perhaps the most common story is that the Imp was allegedly sent down by Satan, and was turned to stone by an angel.

Lot 603 eloquently displays the stone Lincoln Imp, and we are excited to see how it sells at auction.
