"Large Cross Pendant 19th Century Bressans Enamels, Vermeil"
Superb vermeil cross pendant decorated with a multi-colored composition of 21 Bressans enamels with colored crystals on an openwork structure.
A sketch of the same model by Amédée Fornet around 1870-1897 as well as the finished piece, which is completely similar, can be seen on the website patrimoire de l'Ain: https://patrimoines.ain.fr/emaux-bressans/dessins.htm
Silver crab hallmark and other illegible on the ring.
Large size and very lively gilding make these miniature works of art that are Bressans enamels even more attractive.
Period late 19th century, around 1880.
Please note: Old reinforcement on the back of the lower branch
Restoration in our workshop of the vertical enamel of the right branch.
