Victorian 18K gold dogs hunting scene cameo pendant

About the Item

For sale a rare shell cameo, featuring three dogs chasing a wild boar. The cameo is beautifully mounted in 18K yellow gold and it is made during the 19th century, the Victorian era. Contrary to most of the antique cameos which showcase a male/female profile, this cameo attracts us by the originality of the theme since it is clearly inspired by the hunting activity, which played such an important role in people’s everyday lives in the 19th century. This type of jewelry, often described as “novelty”, is among the most desirable and collectible antique jewelry in the market today. It is also one of the prime factors, which affect the value of a piece. Large in size and lively in the detailed carving, this cameo pendant hangs beautifully on your chest and can be paired with different types of chains. A must-have for anyone who adores antique cameo jewelry. Measurements and Condition In overall good antique condition. Traces of use on the cameo with slight scratches. Please see photo.

  • 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...
