Georgian Portrait Brooch Pendant Early 19th Century Paste Silver En Grisaille

About the Item

Indulge in this stunning Georgian Antique Brooch or Pendant with a magnificent hand painted portrait miniature of a woman painted "en grisaille" and set in magnificent frame with early Paste Diamond and Emerald stones. I believe the brooch is a French or Austrian jewel of museum quality with a scene of a lady done En Grisaille, and set in a silver setting with Paste stones. The early antique jewel dates to the early 19th Century. The painting of the woman is "en grisaille," or in black and white and shades of grey. The painting is the work of a master artisan - it has stunning details with wonderful face, hair, hat and gown. The remarkable brooch pendant is a delicate, romantic masterpiece of the Napoleonic era. The piece has its early C-clasp pin stem. It can be worn as a pendant by placing your favorite chain through the open work at the top. A bale could also be easily added if desired. The piece is 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) tall and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. The piece is silver with paste stones. The piece weighs 31.2 grams.
