Small Antique Victorian Miniature Portrait Pin - Hand Painted on Porcelain



This is a lovely antique Victorian era hand painted miniature portrait brooch. The portrait of a Victorian lady hand painted on porcelain. She has a beautiful face with very delicate features. All painted on a muted brown background, that makes her pink wrap really stand out. The pin is C1860.

The setting appears to be a low carat gold bezel setting. I have not tested it. The pin back is a tube type hinge with a simple C clasp and is silver in color.

Measurements:
1 3/8" by 1 1/8" 

Condition:
---The painting does have scratches. No chips that I can see.
---You can see where the pin back was added. (On the sides.) This pin may have started it's life as something other than a pin, but the pin that is in place was definitely put there during the Victorian era.

Large Antique Victorian Miniature Portrait Pendant Of Marie Antoinette



Large and Ornate. An antique Victorian hand painted pendant of Marie
Antoinette. Can also be worn as a pin . The details in the silver work are amazing. You can see the heart shaped cut out right below the portrait. All of the cut out work was done with a jeweler's saw. Quite a lot of work. Obviously done by a skilled jeweler. 

The hand painted portrait of Marie Antoinette is signed, but I cannot make out the signature. There is water damage to the portrait, but I did not remove it from the frame, for fear of further damage. It is still quite beautiful! 

It has six pink paste stones set around the portrait. Marked 800 silver. 
It dates to the mid to late 19th century.

Measurements: 
2" in length by 1 3/4" in width
the bale adds an extra 1/2" in length

Condition: 
---The portrait seems to have water damage. Being sold as is.
---Some greening on the metal.
