Bought yesterday, arrived at noon!
Yes, another French "bargain", make an offer, free insured shipping!
Yepeee :-)
12cm wide.
10cm high.
Napoleon III era, around 1850.
Unmarked silver, immaculate turtle shell prongs, pink foiled pastes with maybe 2 or 3 replaced. This kind of black enamel with black dots is rather fragile, this piece has only a few bruises...
Pic #3 before kyratisation, pic #4 after completing white dots.
Usually described as Georgian, French, I rather see those pieces with eagle's or boar's head hallmark which situe them not earlier than 1838!
See a fantastic necklace, similar decor:
