Victorian Ilfracolmbe Pig Stanhope Pendant queen anne This lovely 1920s niello silverDATE: Victorian, c. 1900 A weird antique Stanhope charm pendant fashioned as a stylised pig, carved out of a single piece of hardwood. Look through the little hole it its side, and you can see "A Memory of Ilfracolmbe" along with photographs of the main tourist attractions in and around the Devon town. Stanhopes (aka Stanho scopes) were invented by Ren Dagron in 1857 as a way of viewing microphotographs without the need of an expensive microscope. In
