Historic Beauties

Fellows’ October Vintage Jewellery & Accessories sale features many beautiful historic lots.

Lot 4 is a stunning Napoleon III memorial ring.  Napoleon III was Emperor of the French from 2 December 1852 – 4 September 1870. The rings were made from brass and given out to commemorate his death.

 

Lot 32 is a mid to late Victorian hand painted and enamel hinged pendant. The white symbolises innocence, often used for the young or unmarried. The lamb is often used for children too. As this one in particular is being crowned it is probably representing Jesus, whereas the lady in the blue is the Madonna. The hair work in the back is in the shape of a wheat sheaf, often used in an allegorical context i.e. wheat is reaped, just as the souls of the dead will be on judgement day / at death. The pendant is estimated at £480-£680.

Lot 137 is a Sybil Dunlop silver moonstone and carnelian brooch. Sybil Dunlop produced some stunning arts and crafts jewellery in the early twentieth century. Fellows have sold some of her pieces in the past, which were hugely popular. This colourful brooch is sure to be no exception. The brooch is estimated at £260-£360.

Lot 140 is a Liberty & Co early 20th century enamel pendant. A fine representation of brilliant craftsmanship, designed with two wing shaped panels in multi-coloured graduated enamel. The pendant is sure to be another standout item from the sale. It is estimated at £200-£300.
