I so love antique jewellery and often attend a well known antique auction house in Melbourne when I am able to do so. I have bought so many beautiful treasures from here and this lady would have to be my all time favourite.
It was love at first sight when I saw this hand painted cameo of a beautiful lady with amazing blue eyes and the sweetest pink and cream dress all under glass in cased with the finest silver and gold detail!!!
Its been eight years since I received this wonderful treasure and I still find myself opening the box and wondering the same thing each and every time...
I wonder who she was???
I was lucky enough to receive it still with the original case so I have tracked it back to Fairfax & Roberts Jewellers which stood in Hunter Street Sydney but I still no nothing of the enchanting lady?
Wouldn't be nice to find out a little more background into this enchanting little portrait?
It would be lovely to know more about this lady. She must have been someone important or of wealth to have a portrait done.

Hi Siobhan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely piece of jewellery.
Yes, I'd like to know who that pretty young lady is as well?
Hugs,

I know what you mean....I purchased a box of old photos awhile back that were all from the same family and it just made me wonder about them all too. It's a beautiful necklace, by the way!
ReplyDeleteHi Siobhan
ReplyDeleteIsn't she beautiful!
I wonder if the painting was painted as an actual potrait of someone in particular or if it's a lady from the artist's imagination, either way, still leaves you wondering
