1890s French Regional Jewelry: Emaux Bressans Sun Filigree Pendant

This sterling silver Emaux Bressans pendant hails from France in the 1890s. Emaux Bressans, originating from the Bresse region in southeastern France, represents a distinctive local jewelry style. This technique, which began as ornamentation for weapons in the 14th century and later graced jewelry in the 19th century, is renowned for its gold leaf-painted foliate motifs, raised enamel beads, and rich, saturated colors. The pendant features a warm, reddish-orange hue, with a subtle checkerboard pattern visible at the base, adding visual depth. The outer edge is adorned with sun-like filigree patterns, forming an exquisite radiant sun. Please note: ***** The price reflects the item's condition *****. As an antique item consistent with its age, it exhibits oxidation and signs of wear. There is noticeable loss of gold leaf and raised enamel. Please refer to the detailed images.
