Description

A delightful and decorative hand painted portrait miniature of a lady in a blue velvet coat. The glass is convex so quite hard to get a sharp image, but the miniature is beautifully painted and it has a gilt ring at the top so it can be worn as a pendant. There is a pearlised back to it. In some of the photographs it is shown with a gold and pearl necklace this can either be bought with the miniature or the miniature can be on its own. With the chain it will be £455.00 and the miniature on its own is £395. It measures 3.3cm x 2.7cm. They are both in very good condition.

FAQs

Portrait miniatures are small, highly detailed paintings on ivory, vellum, or card, popular from the 16th century through the Victorian era, often worn as personal jewellery or kept as keepsakes.

These pieces typically feature watercolour or enamel paintings protected by glass, set within frames crafted from gold, gilt metal, silver, or pinchbeck, occasionally accented with pearls or hair compartments.

Authentic pieces exhibit meticulous hand-brushwork under magnification, period-appropriate frames with backings, organic material supports such as thin ivory sheets, and natural signs of age like minor fading or glass convex curvature.

These historical pendants can be layered with contemporary fine chains or displayed on stands within curiosity cabinets to add a layer of narrative and depth to contemporary interiors.

Keep miniatures away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent fading of pigments and deterioration of organic supports, cleaning only with a dry microfibre cloth.
