A Limoges Enamel Pendant
A Limoges Enamel Pendant
16TH CENTURY
depicting classic male figure.
Diameter 2 1/8 inches.
European Furniture & Decorative Arts
Overall the pendant is attractive and the figure is in good condition. There is 1 cm section of enamel loss to the proper right edge, as well as chips to enamel at left edge, likely due to rubbing of frame. There is crazing and surface dirt commensurate with age. There is a adhesive that seems tar-like which is holding the enamel to it's metal backing and seeping through the sides, at some places onto the enamel.
