An Arts & Crafts silver and gold, enamel and split pearl pendant.
The oval panel painted to depict a Madonna and Child with three angel attendants, likely a version of ‘Madonna and Child with Two Musician Angels’, now housed in the Uffizi. Many copies were commissioned from the 18th century onwards, with a similar composition also in terracotta from the Della Robbia workshop. The enamel is very delicately painted in those wonderful pastel early 20th century colours often seen in enamels and ceramic figures of the period. The panel is housed in a silver and gold surround with split pearls nestled amongst oak leaves and flowers to a surmount with openwork suspension loop.
Marks:
Apparently unmarked with regard to metal or maker.
Date:
Late Victorian, circa 1890-1900.
Length:
5.2cms.
Condition:
General slight surface marks and tarnish/dirt.

Our primary concern is that you are pleased with your purchase. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like about a product before clicking purchase. We appreciate patina and the ‘age’ that older pieces acquire, because of this we do not polish pieces to strip away the age (though your local jeweller may be willing to do this for you for a small fee). Secondhand, vintage and antique pieces will naturally show scratches and small marks, these will often appear more noticeable in the enlarged images that we have made available for you. Our images are as realistic as they can be. Although any appreciable defects/damages will be mentioned please do inspect the images as they do form a part of the condition report.
Antique items may longer not be suitable for everyday wear or may benefit from thoughtful consideration when worn with care.
