The first recorded pet parrot in the British Isles belonged to Henry VII (an African Grey), but modern parrot-keeping in Britain didn't really kick off until the 1800s. This unusual early 19th century parrot was painstakingly carved in coral and almost certainly was a souvenir picked up along the storied Grand Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 10k gold fittings (tests), coral, new 14k gold chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1820\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 1 1\/2\" length including the bale, 3\/8\" width, 18\" chain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52633228214554,"sku":"N3116","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/N3116-1.jpg?v=1786527370","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/early-19th-century-carved-coral-parrot-necklace","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
