Austro-Hungarian Silver, Emerald, Pearl & Garnet Pendant with Enamelled Miniature

743L

This pendant was made circa 1860-1880 in what was the Austro-Hungarian empire. The finely enamelled miniature of a seated lady in a glade with her cat is most likely French and has a gold surround with zig zag detail. The outer part consists of black and white enamelled bows and flowers set with flat cut garnets, emeralds and natural split pearls. On the reverse is a mother of pearl plaque and a loop which may have had another drop on it.

It is a highly decorative piece.
