Description from the seller
Limoges enamel and 18K gold pendant - Portrait of a woman - Signed H. Chéron - Circa 1950-1960
Beautiful oval Limoges enamel pendant mounted in an elegant solid 18 karat gold setting. The central piece is crafted with the traditional technique on domed copper and depicts a refined profile portrait of a young lady. The figure wears a bright green dress or mantle with a luminous textured finish and a red ribbon in her gathered hair.
On the back, over the enamel counter-enameling in dark burgundy red, there is the handwritten signature in gold letters: "H. Chéron Limoges".
Technical details:
• Mounting material: 18 karat yellow gold (18kt / 750).
• Creator: Henri Chéron (1921-2011), renowned artisan trained in the prestigious Fauré workshops in Limoges.
• Origin: Limoges, France.
• Estimated era: Mid-20th century (Circa 1950 - 1960).
• Technique: Painted/relief enamel on copper (Émail sur cuivre).
• Design: Oval frame with a delicate cut-out gold filigree border and a top bale.
Condition:
Good vintage condition. The front enamel is magnificently preserved, maintaining all the vividness and original brightness of its colors (green, red and skin tones). The gold mounting shows a very light, minor patina due to age, visible in the images, which confirms its genuine vintage character.
