This authentic 1860's Victorian work of art, most probably of French artisanship, depicts the enchanting portrait of a Romanesque stately young lady, artistically carved 'en relief' in white hardstone, measuring 19.6mm long and 13.5mm wide, set against a color contrasting oval-faceted 'black' onyx plaque, measuring 22.6mm long, 17mm wide and 3mm deep. All features of this intriguing portrait, including the abundant wavy hair and the period attire, are depicted with devotion to elaborate details and precision. This delicate portrait is mounted in an elevated position within an exquisite Renaissance and Etruscan Revival-inspired frame decorated with romantically designed, impeccably handcrafted scrols, corded wire and granulation accents throughout. An emblematic 'fleur-de-lis' profile in repousse gold crowns the cameo portrait, flanked by delicate rings rendered in corded wire and unique Etruscan granulation technique. This Victorian cameo brooch and pendant of unmatched aesthetic and artistry is secured with the original pin and tubular clasp, a delicate yellow gold chain and safety pin for additional security and a discreet, orbicular bale offering versatility of wear as a pendant to hang from your matching yellow gold chain.
