Antique Dieppe Carved Ivory Bacchante Cameo Pendant, Circa 1840-1850

About the Item

An utterly distinctive and truly captivating vintage treasure! This is a stunning high-relief Victorian ivory cameo of a Bacchante—absolutely breathtaking! The intricately detailed image is of an impressive size, measuring 2.3" (58.2 mm) by 1.7" (43.8 mm). This cameo does not even require a frame; moreover, it features a hanging ring, allowing it to be worn as a pendant. On the reverse side, the Gunther-Schräger lines are clearly visible—a distinguishing characteristic of genuine ivory. Dating circa 1840–1850, this exquisite piece was surely carved in Dieppe, France, one of the leading centers of ivory carving during the Georgian and Victorian eras. Absolutely fantastic! I have never seen anything quite like this, and I can confidently say that this is a truly unique work of art. A highly desirable collector's piece. This antique treasure is in very good condition, with wear commensurate with its age. The piece has developed a natural patina over time, as ivory does, but it has been well cared for and remains pristine. This cameo is absolutely unique—you have to see it to believe it.
