Artisan Antiques has dated this Georgian Sepia Portrait Pendant to the Georgian era.
Centrally, a hand-painted sepia portrait of a lady in profile is embedded. The intricacy is particularly impressive with exceptionally fine brushwork and beautiful proportions, despite the very small panel the painter was presented with.
Surrounding it is a beautiful combination of gold borders, enamelling and a seed pearl border that elevates the overall opulence and striking design. A close look at each component reveals the high level of craftsmanship aside from the painting itself. The enamel features a triangular tesselating pattern underneath, and each pearl has been meticulously set in fine mounts.
Wonderful in a collection or for wearing with a variety of outfits, whether it be for a special occasion or to express your passion for fine antiques and history, this pendant would grace a stylish blouse in the warmer months or on a one-piece dress.
A very special gift for someone or as an indulgent addition for the discerning antique jewellery lover. This pendant is exemplary of fine and intricate Georgian jewellery making and is a wonderful way to display your passion for distinguished antiques, history and style.
The pendant is unmarked, as is common with articles of this period and as such, we have tested it, indicating solid 9ct gold (please note the bail is not gold).
Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
