Cherub Angel Riding Chariot Swan Bird Pendant Necklace Neoclassical Antique

About the Item

This is a magnificent rare early pendant with a bronze medallion of an Angel or Cherub riding in a chariot pulled by two horses. The medallion has a gold filled surmount with two swans on either side with acanthus leaf motif wings. The rare jewel dates to the 18th to 19th Century. The bronze medallion with the neoclassical image of the angel riding the chariot may be quite early. It is exquisite with very fine details throughout and beautiful modeling of the angel's face and body. The horses are in a rearing pose as if taking off or landing. This is a gorgeous neoclassical jewel. The surmount is exquisite with the wonderful swan birds with acanthus leaf wings. These images are very typical of the Gustavian period, circa 1780. The surmount is fully three dimensional with the images on both sides. The medallion is on a swivel mechanism. The combination of the classical image of the angel riding the chariot with the swans creates a magical pendant. And classically inspired jewels are so in demand today. The pendant is 2 3/4 inch (7 cm) tall including the bales. It is 1 3/4 inches (45mm) wide. The pendant weighs 20 grams. The listing is only for the pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
