Excellent condition. Very light micro-scratches on the gold parts and a very small trace of deformation at the lower tip of the triangle visible on the back. The enamel is complete and in very good condition. He is magnificent. See detail photos.
Plique à jour is an enamel application technique similar to cloisonné but without a metal background, so that light can filter through the transparent or translucent enamel. The effect rendered is that of stained glass. It is almost no longer used, because it is technically complex with a long implementation time (more than 4 months per object), a high failure rate and also because of the breakdown in transmission of the technique between generations of goldsmiths.
This is a superb old pendant of sentiment, very rare, full of charm and colorful. Collectible jewel.
Fast and well-protected shipping in a new box with an invoice (the presentation box in the photo is not part of the sale). Sold without chain.
