About the Item

Here we have an incredibly rare antique Georgian ring featuring a detailed eye miniature in the centre hand painted by none other than Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, a renowned British artist who created a wide range of paintings and sculptures over the course of his life from 1802 – 1873. Edwin Landseer was considered something of a prodigy in the early 19th Century and became an honouree exhibitor at the Royal Academy of arts at just 13 years old. He is recognised mainly for his exquisite animal paintings, including the famous Monarch of the Glenn. His most notable work came in the form of the iconic lion sculptures which sit at the base of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square. The miniature is preserved behind a glass window in a large, round 18ct gold gallery bordered with blue enamel and eight sparkling old mine cut diamonds, totalling approx. 1.2ct. It’s engraved with scrolling artistry on the back along with the signature “Eye Miniature of Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A.”. The story of this ring is a mystery but in the 19th Century Eye miniatures, or “Lovers’ Eyes” were a romantic jewellery trend, often gifted to spouses or secret lovers. Only the givers eye was painted so that their identity remained a secret to all but the receiver. It’s a remarkable antique treasure and a wonderful opportunity to own a rare and collectable work of art. It’s all in pristine condition and comes complete with an antique ring box to store it in.
