Victorian Large Hand Painted Porcelain Putti Cherub Pin/Pendant

About the Item

A lovely painted porcelain pin/pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This wonderful piece is particularly large in size, and comprised of an oval-shaped porcelain plaque held within an 18kt gold bezel setting. The porcelain has a fantastic hand-painted image of a sweet, winged cherub resting atop a fluffy cloud. The color and detail are beautiful, depicting the dreamy angel cradling chin within its hand and has a soft gazing expression on its face, as though deep in thought. Gold beads line the frame, making a statement without distracting from the delicately hand-painted image, and on the back is a gold pin and c-catch clasp and a swinging bail for hanging from a fine chain if desired. It's a versatile piece that would look equally lovely worn as a pendant or pinned to a favorite garment! The pin/pendant measures 2 1/4" tall without the bail and hangs 2 1/2" long, including the bail. It measures 2" at its widest point and 1/2" deep including the pin closure.

  • Renaissance Cameo Pendant
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    The cameo at the center of this exceptional pendant is a stunning example of the art of gem engraving during the Renaissance. It likely dates to the early 17th century and features a sacrificial scene inspired by the Greco-Roman era. The central flaming altar is flanked by two figures preparing to sacrifice a ram, while a figure in a lion skin blowing horns stands in the left corner. The carver brilliantly uses the natural layers of the stone to achieve the illusion of shadow and musculature on the figures. A second, smaller cameo is set at the top of the pendant, while a myriad of multi-colored gems, pearls and enamel adorns the 18K gold setting. A large Baroque pearl suspended from an enamel dragon finishes the design, which embodies the opulence and theatricality of jewels from the Renaissance age. Cameos and intaglios were highly popular amongst wealthy connoisseurs in Renaissance Italy, and owning the finest pieces was the privilege of princes. Although they were often elaborately mounted for display alone, cameos were also frequently worn as pendants, surrounded by enameled and stone-set gold frames. Such pieces were particularly prized by the Medici and Lorraine families, many of which can now be seen at the National Archeological Museum in Florence. Very few Renaissance cameos...
