$ 2112.0
Description
An exceptional and highly collectible Victorian cameo, skillfully hand carved from natural Mediterranean coral and depicting a graceful maiden adorned with grape vines in her hair and a baby lamb resting upon her shoulders—an allegorical and pastoral subject of rare refinement. The cameo is mounted as a pendant in a tested 18ct yellow gold frame and elegantly surrounded by a halo of natural coral beads, enhancing both its sculptural presence and luxurious appeal. This jewel is attributed to Italy, most likely Sicily or Naples, and dates to the mid-19th century (circa 1840s–1870s), a golden era for coral carving and Grand Tour jewelry. A museum-quality piece of wearable art, combining technical mastery, symbolism, and outstanding aesthetic presence—ideal for the advanced collector or connoisseur of fine Italian cameos.
