STOLEN. Fine Indian, Thewa Work, Gold and Citrine Pendant
Recently Stolen from an Antiques Centre in Surrey. If you are offered this piece or know of its whereabouts please contact SW15 Collectables on 07833528669.
A beautiful piece of unusual craftsmanship making a unique piece of antique jewellery.
A green oval Thewa work, gold and citrine pendant.
The gold mount starts with a good-sized bale, from which is suspended an eight-spoked wheel - Dharma Chakra, (8mm dia). This then suspends a closed-backed, oval citrine (9x6). Below this from a central point, two chains suspend the Thewa work which is claw-set in a serrated surround. The glass of the Thewa-work is a lovely, deep emerald green. The finely detailed design comprises no fewer than five animals and a man along with floral and vine decoration within the 25x22 oval. As is traditional, the Thewa-work is in near-pure gold (23ct). The mount is unmarked, but is high-carat gold. Overall the piece is 78mm long.
Although difficult to date, from the outstanding detail of the work and the setting/cut of the citrine, I would date it to late 19th or early 20th Century.
Thewa-work is an antique craft tradition from Pratapgarh in Rajasthan. (Wikipedia has a good article).
Excellent condition. I will always mention anything that materially affects the aesthetic or function of a piece, but will not attempt to describe what I consider to be normal for age and use. Please use the photographs as well as you can and I’m always happy to answer specific questions.
I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.
