SALE Large Antique Hand Painted British Raj Indian Porcelain 10K Brooch

Jewelry : Antique : Fine : Portrait Miniature

 

This is a highly unusual and very large oval hand painted porcelain brooch depicting an elaborately bedecked Indian gray bearded gentleman. He is facing to the right and wears a jeweled turban, high collared robe, and pearls at the neck. The round portrait is contained within a decorative dark border against a brick red background field.

the brooch weighs 26.8 gr. It measures a substantial 2.75" x 2.125". The unmarked setting tests as 10K yellow gold. There is a loop at the top that lacks only a jump ring bail to use as a pendant. The brooch has its original C clasp and T hinge.

Condition: There are some small scratches, mostly on the lower part of the red background and one near the man's eye.

This is a rare subject matter and unusually large size for such a piece.
