19th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian paste jewellery gained popularity as hand-cut lead glass was crafted to imitate natural precious gemstones like amethyst. These pieces were frequently set alongside seed pearls and intricate gold mounts, reflecting 19th-century decorative preferences.

Pendants from this era typically feature a central faceted gemstone or paste stone held in a gold or gilt metal setting, framed by a border of natural split pearls or seed pearls.

Authentic Victorian items often feature closed or foil-backed settings, hand-applied millegrain edging, period-appropriate bail attachments, and subtle evidence of historical handcrafting.

When not worn as personal jewellery, historical pendants can be mounted and displayed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes or framed glass cabinets as framed decorative wall objects.

Keep paste stones and organic seed pearls away from water, cleaning chemicals, and high humidity, wiping them gently with a dry microfibre cloth to prevent foil degradation and pearl damage.
