DESCRIPTION:
We came across this rare antique pin and, because it was still in very good condition, decided to purchase it for our stores. We were enchanted by the lady's portrait, hand painted and so refine. The fact that it is mounted on an 18 carat solid gold frame only added to our desire to acquire this unique piece of erstwhile jewelry.
The frame is in the rococo (baroque) style ---very 18th century, but often imitated in the early 19th.
This is a collector's item that can nevertheless be worn and appreciated, since it is in very good condition. Of course, it is stamped for 18K solid gold. This is a genuine original piece of fine jewelry. Enjoy!
