Description
opalescent yellow enamel over silver, with hand painted cherub displays. The silver has a gentle damascene pattern that reflects through the translucent yellow enamel. The case hardware is gold over silver (excluding movement and dial), with some oxidation. The top has 3 ladies in various dresses (in cameos), while the front cameo shows a lady doing knitting or needle point. Minor losses along bottom edge of marble base; enamel work is perfect. These were expensive gifts when new, and this is a nice example. Height 7 1/4"
