Description

English, mid 18th-century

Pendant with a miniature teatime scene


gold, enamelled gold and glass

26mm overall

This beautiful pendant, which depicts a group of well dressed people taking tea, was probably made by the same hand as a closely comparable pendant in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (inv. no. M.33-1960). Note the near identical mount set with glass with a bevelled edge.
