吊坠 - 18K包金 黄金 - 珐琅，乔治亚风格 1820

一个迷人的乔治王时代吊坠，可能是法国产或英国产，约1820年左右，中心是一块灰彩釉椭圆牌匾。两位小天使以灰白色的柔和阴影映在粉色地面上，赋予场景安静、富有诗意的气质。图像具有早19世纪装饰艺术中常被欣赏的亲密、沉思特征，而金边圆周则以温暖与克制环绕其中。虽小，却极具氛围。

Condition

Style specifics
Oval enamel plaque in grisaille, showing two cherubs painted in shades of grey and white against a pink ground, within a gold surround. The plaque appears to reflect the refined taste for sentimental and allegorical enamel miniatures associated with the late Georgian period. The present gold mounting may be of later date than the enamel plaque itself.

Period
early 19th century, circa 1820

Source of inspiration
The scene appears to refer to artistic creation: one cherub is absorbed in drawing, with palette and brushes at his feet, while the second places a finger to his lips in a gesture of silence and raises the other hand, suggesting that artistic labour is guided by inspiration.

Theme
allegory of artistic inspiration

Material
18K yellow gold (touchstone tested)

Technique
Painted enamel in grisaille on an oval plaque, with the figures rendered in monochrome against a pink ground.

Extra information
The enamel plaque appears to be set within a gold mounting that may be of later date than the plaque itself.

Marks and/or hallmarks present, but illegible.

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
