THE BAGPIPE DRONES: (c. early 1800's)


The banners are all made of satin hand stitched, some even containing gold thread.



Unfortunately, the Scot who sold my friend these pieces was not forthcoming to the origin of these pipe drones, so the history is a wee bit vague.



I believe the fittings are made from brass and contain hand engravings on each coupling of the drone.
