Presented here is an Antique Victorian Angel head pendant. This little Angel has come all the way from Great Britain and was originally made in France. It is made from a very early Victorian Celluloid and was most likely made to look like Ivory and is Cruelty Free:) When I first purchased the cherub I was wondering how this could be worn. After doing some research I decided to sew a fancy neck ribbon to best show off this little gem. I did not attach a clasp or snaps yet and the edges are all finished off by hand. The face has a few surface scratches and a tiny dent to one cheek. These light surface cracks and do not go all the way thru. (See back) I never purchase anything damaged and use my professional discretion as to wether or not the piece still retains its beauty and functionality. This piece has passed all my tests:) This little Angel is over 100 years old and will no doubt last another 100 years with proper care. Right now it is 17 inches around. I have closed the ribbon with a little black safety pin so that it can be adjusted to the desired length.
Circa 1860s-1880s.
