Antique Pin Pendant Porcelain Miniature Victorian Gold
This antique pin and pendant with porcelain miniature in Victorain gold weighs 9.7g and measures 52.5mm long, 35mm wide and 2mm deep. This porcelain oval plaque is hand painted with an enameled pallet of natural browns, cerulean blues and shades of reddish violet that together capture a romanticized peasant girl on her way home from gathering wild flowers and berries. This 'working girl' is barefoot and sauntering along a dirt road with overgrown bushes. Her delicate features and robust figure are reminiscent of earlier romanticized women of the 16th century Italian art. Deftly created through painstaking and carefully executed brushwork, this 1890's Swiss made enamel is bezel-set in a modest highly polished 14k yellow gold frame, its reverse side being equipped with a stem and retractable latch closure with an articulated bail...More
