An exceptional pair of 18ct and earrings with pearl embellishment, featuring En Grisaille enamel on rare pink ground. Ever so challenging to find, enamel earrings from this era are coveted for their often classical subject matter in pastoral settings-- and this pair is no exception. Two figures in the Watteau manner of bucolic lounging are shown; one throwing it back surreptitiously, the other, forearm deep in a bag of chips (truly I do not know what the actions depicted are, but I've chosen to see it as such.) Pearl halos around the central panels, the bottom drops come off and the tops can be worn alone.Ā 

This pair of earrings is mint in the box.Ā 

Materials and Features: 18ct gold, in pink ground painted enamel, mother of pearl reverse

Age/Origin: French, Napoleon III 1860

Measurements: 1.35ā€, 1.6g each

Condition: Very good historical condition- there is some wear to the edges of the central panels, mint in an antique box!
