Victorian Feather Peacock Pendant
An absolutely wonderful and unusual to find pendant from the Victorian period, c1880s. The pendant has the most beautiful peacock made from feathers and set to a mother-of-pearl backing. The feathers are stunning colours and depict the bird beautifully. There is a plumpness to the breast representing the body of the peacock perfectly. The mother-of-pearl has a luminescence that compliments the vibrant colours of the feathers. This piece has a 9ct gold back with the original bail, suitable for a medium weight chain and has a domed glass front. It is a lovely large size making a bold statement on the neck.
The longer chain is available separately. The short chain is not for sale.
Details:
