Antique Victorian 18K Yellow Gold Reverse Carved Intaglio Fox Cufflinks
About the Item
A pair of Victorian rock crystal and yellow gold cufflinks, each comprising a round cabochon rock crystal, painted with the image of a fox, set in 18 karat yellow gold, with 18 karat yellow gold fittings.
These charming Victorian cufflinks each depict a cheerful looking, open-mouthed fox. These reverse carved intaglios are often referred to as ‘Essex crystal’, after William Essex who was well-known for creating these beautiful carved and painted pieces. The rock crystal will have been carved with the image, and then painted in reverse, with the smallest details first. This work is particularly fine, the details of the foxes are wonderfully lifelike, and if you have come across reverse carved intaglio pieces, you will know that not all are created equal, as it is a very tricky and skilled process! The beautifully painted foxes are a true-to-life russet colour, with their ears, eyes, and nose picked out in a deep brown, and highlighted with white. The rock crystal cabochons are held within yellow gold bezel settings and have a closed back. The cufflinks are fitted with a sturdy bar and ‘button’ style fitting, for easy and secure wear. The cufflinks are in excellent condition. Wear and tear acquiescent with age.
