Description

A charming and wearable piece of antique jewellery.

A nineteenth-century, miniature portrait in a of a lady in a gold brooch mount. The finely-executed, hand-painted oval plaque portrays a well-dressed lady holding a dove. The plaque is bezel-set in rose gold with bead decoration and outer band. The back has simple pin and hook attachment and is marked 9ct. The plaque is marked 33K on the back. The ceramic is probably European and the mount English - both mid to late 19th Century. Overall 43x35mm, plaque 34x28mm

There is minor wear to the background of the picture round the edges and a slight distortion to the outer frame at top left.

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.

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.
