About the Item
Very fine antique Etruscan Revival 18K yellow gold engraved precious red coral cross
19th century
Exquisitely engraved rich red coral cross pendant mounted in beautifully detailed 18K yellow gold setting with twisted wire work details and a stylized rose flower at the center. The natural red color of this cross is of the best gem quality, now only available throught antique pieces. The base of this cross has a hollow circular mount allowing it to stand on a mount for devotional purposes as well as wear as a pendant. Most coral crosses are composed of round coral beads while this piece is far more complex and rare, being carved from a large piece of fine red coral.
Gem quality coral has been prized since the beginning of the 1st millenium, thought to posess medicinal properties and protect the wearer from danger. Royals, aristocrats and high ranking military figures wore precious coral jewels and used objects adorned with coral, many of which are now in museum collections worldwide. Coral gained such importance by the end of the 18th century that in 1805, King Ferdinand IV granted a licence to Paul Barthelemy Martin, a successful coral broker from the South of France to run the Real Fabbrica de Coralliwas, specializing in fine carved coral jewelery, objects and cameos. The location of this enterprise was in the port town of Torre del Greco, situated between Naples and Pompeii. Martin was given a ten year coral-working monopoly and proceeded to train local artisans to create beautifully detailed coral jewels and carvings worthy of Royal patronage. Fine coral jewels continue to be in high demand- Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier and Boucheron are among the jewelers who commissioned Torre del Greco artisans to create coral carvings for their designs.
Condition: Very Good, antique coral pieces naturally expand over time- this cross shows natural, unobtrusive areas of expansion consistent with its age.
