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. A true masterpiece in miniature!

Antique Cameo Brooch Pendant Necklace 18K Gold - Victorian c.1860
Located in London, GB
Welcome to Artisan Antiques based in Mayfair, London - We are delighted to offer this magnificent large antique 18ct gold shell cameo brooch/pendant locket made c.1860, depicting a figurehead of Hera - a Greek mythological goddess of women, marriage and childbirth (also referred to as Juno by the Romans).
Its majestic presence, distinguished design and impressive size are immediately captivating even to the untrained eye and whilst undeniably attractive and delightful even at a quick glance, it is upon closer inspection that its true splendour and intricacy can be fully appreciated.
The overall design features a whole array of wonderful embellishments and craftsmanship; a profusely decorated frame made from solid 18ct gold is accented with layers of applied gold ribbons/bows, beads and twist-rope borders.
What is particularly noteworthy about this frame/border is the fact it has a concave 'doughnut' like shape that contours the cameo whilst also allowing for the spinning locket design to function flawlessly.
Upon unfastening the rear pin, the central cameo spins around and presents a locket with a portrait of a gentleman and the fine mechanism and craftsmanship of the central piece can be further appreciated.
The portrayal of Hera 'in profile' (side on) is simply splendid with crisp engravings, attractive proportions and an almost lifelike texture/facial expression in the manner of Renaissance sculptures.
The reverse side of the brooch reveals a large pin for fastening on to a coat lapel or jumper with an additional later added safety chain. Further, the bail at the top allows for this piece to be worn as a magnificent pendant necklace.
All of the combined factors make this cameo brooch a wonderful collectable piece of 19th-century antique jewellery history which would not only make for an excellent display piece but an inimitable and breathtaking brooch to wear on special occasions. Not only would the aesthetic be impressionable, but as a conversation starter, this brooch may serve as the perfect occasion to share your discerning historical/antiques passion...
