About the Item

A gold necklace and micromosaic. The necklace is composed of seven micromosaic medallions set in dark blue glass. Two gold strands support the micromosaics between them. The subjects of the micromosaic plates are uncommon, as they do not represent ruins but rather birds and chariots with birds and butterflies on them. The chariot motif is inspired by a mosaic discovered in the Vetii house in Pompeii. w: 0.85 oz (24.30gr) L: 15.74 in. (40cm) Early 19th century. Empire period.

Antique 14kt Yellow Gold Essex Crystal Hunting Necklace, c. 1880–1910
Located in Braintree, GB
A beautifully composed late Victorian to Edwardian necklace in 14kt yellow gold, featuring intricately carved and reverse-painted Essex crystals — a rare and labour-intensive technique where miniature paintings are rendered in fine detail on the reverse side of domed rock crystal cabochons. The central scene depicts a red-coated English huntsman on horseback leaping over a hedge, flanked by two companion medallions portraying a fox and a hound. These traditional hunting motifs speak to the British sporting elite’s fascination with the countryside chase — fox hunting was considered a symbol of both aristocratic leisure and rural valor. The inclusion of hunting horns and riding crops in gold adds further narrative depth, evoking the ceremonial and rhythmic elements of the hunt. Gold scrolls in the form of fox horns...
