About the Item

Antique Miniature Portrait Pendant Brooch in 800 Silver, Depicting Queen Marie de’ Medici This exquisite antique miniature portrait pendant brooch is a fine example of 19th-century European craftsmanship. Handcrafted in 800 silver, the piece features a finely detailed hand-painted portrait beneath glass, depicting an elegantly attired young lady—believed to represent Queen Marie de’ Medici. The silver frame is delicately worked, forming an elegant border that enhances the artistry of the miniature. Over time, the piece has acquired a rich, darkened patina that beautifully complements its antique character. The reverse is stamped “800”, confirming its silver purity. Lightweight and versatile, the jewel may be worn either as a brooch or pendant, reflecting the refined multi-functionality typical of its period. Provenance: Estate auction, Strasbourg, France. Materials: 800 silver, glass, hand-painted miniature. Weight: 11.2 g (0.40 oz). Condition: Excellent antique condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age. A captivating and historically evocative piece, this miniature portrait brooch would make a distinguished addition to any collection of European portrait miniatures or fine antique jewelry.
