FINE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN MICRO MOSAIC PENDANT WITH BIRDS AND ROSES
THIS IS THE FINEST ANTIQUE MICRO MOSAIC PENDANT I\'VE EVER SEEN NOT MADE OF SOLID GOLD. THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HAS TESTED SILVER, THOUGH I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PURITY IT IS. IT HAS A VERMEIL PLATING OF SOFT GOLD THROUGHOUT ITS BEAUTIFULFRAME. IT\'S PROBABLY FROM THE VICTORIAN PERIOD OF THE 1870s OR 1880s. A WELL THOUGHT OUT DESIGN OF THE PERIOD.EVEN THOUGH THE CHAIN LOOP LOOKS GREAT WITH THE PIECE, IT LOOKS LIKE A REPLACEMENT TO ME. THE SOLDERING WORK AND THE TUBE EDGE CUTS DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE BY THE SAME FINE CRAFTSMAN\'S HAND. AT ITS BOTTOM IT\'S NOT SMOOTH LIKE THE REST OF IT IS. THERE IS A BRASS ROD HOLDING IT ALL IN PLACE, AND IT MOVES VERY FREELY. IT\'S, AS STURDY AS IT GETS. IT WAS DEFINITELY MADE TO KEEP THIS STUNNING PIECE SAFE IN EVERY WAY. THE LOOP HAS A WIDE HOLE TO ACCOMMODATE ALMOST ANY STYLE CHAIN OR CORD THAT ANYONE COULD WANT TOHANG THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE FROM. ORIGINALLY, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A FRAME BEZEL, OR INSET, AND POSSIBLY GLASS FOR HAIR OR A PICTURE OR SOME KIND OF KEEPSAKE ON THE BACK. THEY ARE MISSING. YOU COULD SEE ON THE BACK THAT IT WOULD FIT IN THE METAL OVAL. OTHERWISE THE FRAME IS INTACT IN EVERY WAY WITH ONLY A FEW BUMPS FOR ITS AGE. A VERY WONDERFUL DESIGN. THE GLASS TILES ARE SUPERB. THEY ARE OFTEN CALLED TESSERAE. BIRDS OF PARADISE? LOVING BIRDS? THE WINGS AND TAILS ARE IN A GOLD FINISH. THE ROSES ARE MULTICOLORED AND FABULOUS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO TILES MISSING FROM THE VERY TOP EDGE DESIGN, AND ONE FROM THE VERY BOTTOM EDGE DESIGN. THESE ARE SOME OF THE SMALLEST TILES ON THE PENDANT. PLEASE USE THE PICTURES AND MAGNIFIER TO SEE THATTHERE ARE VARIOUS LOSSES AND CRACKS TO SOME OF THE TILES ASCAN BENORMAL WEAR TO A PIECE OF ITS AGE. LOSSES ARE VERY HARD TO SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE. IT MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 INCHES LONG, NOT INCLUDING ITS WONDERFUL AND STURDY 5/8 INCH BY 3/8 INCH LOOP AND MOVABLE HINGE. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 1 1/4 INCHES WIDE, AND 5/16 INCH DEEP. THIS IS TRULY THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED MICRO MOSAIC PENDANT I HAVE EVER SEEN NOT MADE IN SOLID GOLD. THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR ITS VICTORIAN AGE. THE COMBINATIONS OF COLORS AND FRAME DESIGNS ARE EXCEPTIONAL, AND NOW IS A GREAT CHANCE FOR SOMEONE TO OWN A REAL, AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE THAT IS AUTHENTIC TO THE VICTORIAN ERA IN THIS TYPE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. .
