An Important Gold And Sapphire Cross By Robert Phillips

About the Item

An Important gold and sapphire cross by Robert Phillips, the ornate gold cross set with a cabochon-cut sapphire and four pearls to the centre with further cabochon sapphires to the edge and gold bead and wirework decoration, circa 1865, gross weight 36 grams with original fitted case by Phillips, 23 Cockspur St, London. This magnificent cross pendant comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This piece was made by Robert Phillips, one of the most sought-after gothic revivalist jewellers of the nineteenth century. This stunning and important piece features meticulous detail and craftsmanship: the ornate design echoes crosses seen in Medieval paintings and decorating Medieval reliquaries. The fine gold detail on the outside of the cross is mirrored on the inside, which is also set with a number of glowing cabochon-cut sapphires. The centre of the cross features a further, larger, cabochon sapphire, which is bordered by gold and four pearls. This truly remarkable piece is a wonderful example of Phillip’s work, which can be seen in museums such as The British Museum, The Ashmolean, and The Fitzwilliam. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping. Please note: because of the high value of this item, an export licence will be required to ship this item outside of the United Kingdom. This process will add an extra 2-4 weeks onto the shipment time. Thank you for your understanding.
