A rare and exceptional Essex crystal pendant from the Victorian era (1837-1901). The pendant depicts a chimney sweep - a symbol of good luck, fortune and safety. The reverse carving is of very fine quality and is set against an iridescent background, which changes colour as it catches the light. It is mounted on an 18ct gold frame.
There is a stamp to the bale which is illegible - possibly a horse head (Austria). The gold purity is not stamped, but tests as 14ct.
Weight (approximate): 2.3g
Measurements (approximate): 20mm (including bale) x 16mm.
Condition: Excellent, with minimal wear commensurate with age. The design to the rock crystal has no abrasion to the surface and the reverse carving has crisp, clear details. The gold has light marks and general wear. Please see pictures for details and don't hesitate to ask questions.
