Product Description
RARE, BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, HEAVILY CARVED, SHELL CAMEO BROOCH, NECKLACE COMBO. RENAISSANCE INSPIRED MASTERPIECE HAND CARVED ENTIRELY FROM SARDONYX. THE SUBJECT FEATURES TWO TASTEFUL NUDES, ONE IS A LADY WHO IS ARCHED UP ACROSS AND BETWEEN THE LEGS OF A MAN WHO IS SITTING AND PLAYING A VIOLIN OVER HER. SHE LOOKS TO BE HOLDING SOMETHING, NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
FABULOUS CARVING, FINELY DETAILED FROM THEIR FLOWING HAIR TO THEIR LOVELY BODIES. I'M SURE THIS HAS A STORY WHETHER GREEK OR ITALIAN.
SET IN STERLING SILVER EARLY 1900'S PERIOD
THIS IS A MASTER CARVING, PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS FOR BEST DETAILS.
BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CONDITION. STERLING SILVER HAS DARKENED BUT I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING UP TO THE NEW OWNER. IF LOOKING AT THE BACK AGAINST THE LIGHT, ONE MIGHT SEE AN EXTREMELY FAINT, TINY LINE, AT THE TOP RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS VERY MINIMAL AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOOK VERY CLOSLY TO SEE IT, BUT NOTED. THE DARK SPOT SEEN IN THE PHOTO IS THE TINY PART OF THE PIN BACK , NOT A FLAW
MEASURES APPROX. 1~3/8" LONG EXCLUDING THE BALE
