Description

A most unusual French mourning silhouette of a lady with initials J.S and dated 1838. The lovely heavy oval gilt frame has a central bow with beading and scrolling on the surround. It has a convex glass. The reverse has a stamp for Charleux of Paris. The silhouette itself is surrounded by a beautiful plait of the sitters hair. At the base are her initials (J S) and the date of 24th Novembre 1838. It is a stunning item. It has a slight mark on the inner glass by her face, but apart from that it is in good condition. It measures 16cm high x 12cm wide.

I must apologise for the light reflections on all of the images. The back of her head in some photos looks grey but it is the reflection of the light.
