This 1930 pendant and brooch piece is manufactured from silver and porcelain, rendered in an Art Deco style, and measures 2 cm high, 5 cm wide and 7 cm deep. The central oval plaque depicts a hand-painted miniature portrait of an eighteenth-century woman with blue ribbons in her hair, surrounded by a beaded silver border. The piece comes complete with a fitted presentation case lined with blue velvet and cream-coloured silk, featuring printed text on the inner lid bearing a retailer name and address from London, alongside a small metal closure mechanism at the front edge. The item functions as a dual-purpose accessory, suitable for wear as either a pendant or a brooch on garments or chains. It fits neatly into a collection of period costume jewellery or sits comfortably upon a vanity table or within a display cabinet when not in use.

FAQs

Miniature portrait jewellery originated in the 16th century and regained popularity during the 18th and early 20th centuries as wearable keepsakes. During the interwar period of the 1930s, manufacturers frequently reproduced 18th-century style painted portraits on porcelain or enamel plaques, mounting them in silver settings with versatile fittings for use as brooches or pendants.

Interwar portrait brooches typically utilised sterling silver or silver alloys for the setting, often featuring beaded or marcasite borders. The central portraits were hand-painted or printed on porcelain, china, or enamel plaques before being set into the metal frame.

Authentic pieces from this period often display British silver hallmarks or SILVER stamps on the reverse. The pin mechanism usually includes a trombone clasp or C-clasp typical of the early-to-mid 20th century, and original retailer presentation boxes provide additional provenance regarding origin and maker.

Dual-purpose pendant brooches offer versatile styling options. They can be attached to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened to a silk scarf, or fitted with a silver chain through the top bail to be worn as a pendant necklace.

To preserve painted porcelain and silver jewellery, avoid direct contact with water, perfumes, and chemical cleaners. Clean the silver setting gently using a dry silver polishing cloth, and store the piece inside a velvet-lined box to protect the surface from scratching and oxidisation.
