Antique Limoges Portrait Pendant with 18K solid Gold Frame c. 1900

This lovely enamel pendant, set in a solid gold Art Nouveau frame, is a unique piece of French craftsmanship from the turn of the 20th century. Limoges, a city in central France, has been renowned for its enamel work since the Renaissance, and by 1900, the craft had reached new heights of sophistication. The pendant features vibrant vitreous enamel, a technique where finely powdered glass is fused onto metal to create colors. The pendant is signed on the back by the artist, adding a personal touch and confirming its authenticity as a genuine piece of Limoges artistry.
