Dating to the late 18th century and likely of French origin; a touching and delicately hand painted enamel image of a Cupid with a red sash and flower garland standing upon billowing clouds set as a navette shaped pendant. 

An evocative image capturing yearning and love, pieces such as this were worn as a way to keep a loved one close and treasure their spirit within a tangible sense and sometimes in similar pieces you will see a phrase or dedication. Set in a border of wild Seed Pearls in a 9ct Gold frame, this beautiful antique jewel can today be worn as a pendant. 

There are small scratches to the enamel. Measures 4cm in length.
