Antique Cherub Pendant
15ct Yellow Gold
Circa 1880
A rare and sentimental piece of Victorian history dating to circa 1880, crafted in rich 15ct yellow gold. The front features a domed porcelain plaque hand-painted in miniature with an angelic, pensive cherub inspired by Raphael’s famous Sistine Madonna angels, resting against a cloud with soft teal wings.
The plaque is enclosed in a bezel framed by fine rope-twist/cannetille wirework along the perimeter. The reverse reveals a smooth, polished domed case centering a glazed oval locket compartment designed for a lock of hair or miniature memento—making it a deeply evocative antique keepsake. Suspended from a sturdy soldered jump ring, it makes a breathtaking statement worn on a heavy antique chain or velvet ribbon.
The pendant measures approximately 28.5mm in diameter.
Weight 9.1g
*The chain is sold separately
