Lillicoco

RARE 19th Century Ornate Enamel Egg Pomander Pendant

Sold

Price Inclusive of VAT & Import Duties

A rare late 19th-century Enamel egg pomander pendant, this petite treasure marries exquisite miniature painting with romantic, baroque-inspired ornament. Its egg-shaped body is richly adorned with polychrome hand-painted Enamel in oval cartouches—one depicting a seated figure, the other a cherubic head—framed by gilt foliate scrolls and delicate dotwork over a warm coral-pink ground with soft blue-green accents. A finely pierced filigree “waist” in Silver tones encircles the equator, while the overall palette and gilt highlights create an opulent, angelic allure—perfectly evocative of Easter.

Opening on a tidy hinge to reveal a Gold-gilded interior, it retains a fitted felt insert, characteristic of vinaigrette and scent pomander lockets cherished in the Victorian era. Delicate, sentimental and highly decorative, it’s a beautifully wearable keepsake ready to suspend from your favourite chain.

SKU: C7500

Layaway - Partial payments until it’s ready to ship. Bag a treat.
