19th Century Very Large French Silver Gilt Cross, in Original Case

417C
Rare Find

This is a very big silver gilt cross, the biggest I have ever bought. It is in its original rectangular case and was made around 1820 in France. It also has the original heart slide above. Often these are missing, or are sold separately. It would have been worn on a black ribbon which passed through the holes on the reverse of the heart. This type of jewellery was used on festive occasions in France. It is a terrific look!
