Antique Victorian Carnelian Glass Intaglio Cameo Pendant Gold c.1890 Neo Classic

A Wonderful Antique Victorian Carnelian Glass Intaglio Cameo Pendant in Gold, circa 1890 Fin de Cicle, Neo-Classic. This antique piece is made of carnelian glass with intaglio cameo and antique yellow gold filled. The period around the Turn of the Last Century was filled with Neo Classic styles that were revived from antiquity, including Greek and Roman classic designs. The influence came from excavations of ancient ruins that were done around this time. The pendant holds a piece of deep rich carnelian colored glass that features an intaglio cameo. The portrait cameo depicts a beautiful Grecian figure. The bezel is composed of antique yellow gold filled. It comes with antique gold filled chain as well measuring about 17 inches long. This piece measures about 1 inch long with bail by about 7/8 inch wide from side to side. The piece dates to the Victorian Era and is in lovely vintage condition for its age. A wonderful find.
