"19th Century Brooch Miniature Enamel Silver And Pearls In Case, 1840"

Beautiful oval brooch decorated with a domed enameled miniature representing a woman dressed in antique style sitting on a rock in a landscape and drinking from the neck of an amphora.

The motif is surrounded by a frieze of tiny gold lambrequins standing out against a deep blue border.

The enamel is in perfect condition! The silver setting consists of a chiseled oval frame in a border set with half fine pearls.

The domed back bears the brooch system with piston safety clasp, which is certainly an old replacement that is perfectly functional.
