This pendant is made in the 19th century and is a work of Vidin goldsmith workshops. These artists create in the style of Chiprovtsi goldsmith school. This school has its origins in the 12th century and its tradition continued until 1947 when the communist regime nationalized everything. This goldsmith school is one of the best in Southeast Europe but unfortunately its traditions already failed!
Very beauty!
Beautiful detail Vladimir. It was obviously made by a very skilled craftsman.
Lovely! It looks silver in the pictures. I would have called this Indian style.
Thanks for your comments Virginia, Rick and Katerine!
Thank you very much Valentino!
Fine Detail !!
Thank you Antiquerose!I got interested to write history and forgot to write size and it really is very fine! (2.5 / 2.5 cm and 2.77 g.) It is made in the technique of filigree, most of the parts are made from braided rope as staples then hammered and styled!
