Beautiful Early 19th Century Cannetille Gold & Amethyst Brooch

Description

Exemplifying the adaptability of one of the worlds most precious metals the artistry and craftsmanship which has gone into the moulding, carving, engraving and shaping of the Gold is breathtaking.

Typical of jewellery produced between 1810 and 1840 the Cannetille Gold work is simply stunning. Typically unmarked, this is nevertheless a high carat piece and the rich golden yellow colour of the gold perfectly complements the sumptuous purple of the foil back Amethysts.

The piece is accented with small White Pearls. Unfortunately the condition is not perfect and the delicate cannetille work has suffered some damage over the last 200 years. Obviously this is reflected in the price, however this remains a wonderful historical item and a truly remarkable piece of early 19th Century jewellery.

Price: £175.00 (approx $285.00 USD)
