About the Item
A pair of 19th century spindle pendant earrings in 19.2kt yellow gold, Portugal, circa 1887. This pair of Victorian era pendant earrings invariably called “Brincos de Fuso”, “Fusos” or "Ouro Popular" in Portuguese are composed of two articulated hollow parts, the surmount of a shield shape resembling a stylized giardinetto suspends a much longer drop-shape pendant. These earrings display typical Revivalism or Neo-Baroque influences, intricately decorated with naturalistic floral, foliate and scrolled motifs, while being rich in repoussé ornate goldwork, as well as stamped and chiseled decoration. Each earring is secured with its original and genuine lever-back fitting, with hallmark and maker's mark for the period.
Dimensions: 10.2 x 2.1 cm. Gross weight: 16.1g. Portuguese "tiger II" mark for 800/1000 gold (used 1887-1937). Maker's mark for Oporto (Portuguese) jeweler Joaquim Soares (1987).
