An exquisite antique portrait brooch and pendant crafted in stamped 830 silver, this striking oval piece showcases a finely hand-painted feminine portrait delicately rendered on mother of pearl. The iridescent mother of pearl ground creates a beautiful natural glow beneath the miniature painting, enhancing its ethereal quality. Surrounding the portrait is an ornate silver frame adorned with graduated marcasites, adding subtle sparkle and classic period sophistication, while twisted rope detailing along the border lends further craftsmanship. Designed as both a brooch and pendant, it features a secure pin back and integrated bale for versatile wear. The bail itself is accented with marcasites and stamped 830 along with maker’s mark WF or WP. A beautifully detailed example of antique wearable art, this rare piece blends portrait miniature tradition with elegant European silverwork!
