墜飾 - 18 克拉 黃金 - 珐琅，乔治时代，1820年

一枚迷人的格鲁吉亚风格吊坠，很可能是法国或英国制造，约1810年代末至1820年左右，中心是一个灰阶珐琅椭圆牌饰。两个天使在柔和的灰白色调中，衬以淡粉色底地，营造出宁静、带诗意的场景。画面具备早19世纪装饰艺术常见的私密、沉思特征，而金质外框则以温暖与克制包裹着它。虽小却富有氛围。

Condition
very good condition

Country of origin
probably France or England

Style
Georgian

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.
