A gorgeous 1880’s portrait pendant of a cute gentlemen wearing an outstanding collar and brown suit! Originally a baroque revival box lid, this lad was too dashing to simply adorn a box, so it was lovingly converted into this modest rolled gold wall hanging, or 3.5 inch BIG boy pendant, depending on how you’d like to style him! Painted on natural wafer, his slightly unkempt mustache and bushy sideburns…paired with eye contact, never to be broken, from those crisp blue eyes…I’m blushing. Delicately signed “M. Brum” in the lower left, this miniature portrait is incredibly precious, and I am not so hesitant to make him my boyfriend, so do snap him up before his charm overtakes me!
