More informationA French gold and enamel crucifix pendant in Renaissance style, the budded cross with applied modelled figure of Christ made in yellow gold, the cross to the centre bearing the Christogram
IHS in gold with red plique-a-jour enamel, the arms of foliate design with green and blue plique-a-jour enamel decorations, suspended by a pendant loop of floral design, circa 1890, measuring approximately 7.4 x 4.1cm gross weight 14.6 grams, bearing French gold hallmarks for 18ct gold,
An exquisite cross pendant. Made in France in the late nineteenth century, this pendant features masterful use of plique-a-jour or ‘letting light in’ enamel work. The enamel is green and blue in a gold-accented foliate design. The figure of the crucified Christ is modelled realistically in yellow gold, with a red enamel halo. To the back is more plique-a-jour enamel and the Christogram HIS. The overall effect of this splendid piece of that of stained glass in a Gothic cathedral: it is a mesmerizing and exceptional piece.
