19th Century Viennese Miniature Covered Silver and Enamel Cornucopia

About the Item

A very fine antique jeweled, silver Viennese enamel covered Cornucopia. Each panel is beautifully enameled with cupids, Angeles and Maidens with neoclassical mythological subjects, further adorned by jeweled sapphire cabochons. Found atop the horn is a silver knight, St. George, on horseback fighting against a dragon, while underneath the horn is a silver cupid, seemingly holding the horn up. The tip of the horn is decorated with a fox head finial, which depicts a mythological scene with angles and a Heavenly Father proclaiming to his servants on a domed base enameled to depict a romantic scene. Vienna, Austria, circa 1850.
