Oh my goodness. This pendant is pure joy. A huge silver puffy heart has been gilded, to gorgeous glowing effect, and the result is just epic. I can’t help but smile when I look at this. In the pic I have hung it on a shorter chain, but I think a slightly longer chain would be even better. I’ve never had a heart of these fabulous proportions before, it’s just divine!
Circa 1900
Switzerland
Sterling silver, gilded
There are a few marks on the bale, notably a duck which tells us this is Swiss silver, and a 925 mark
55 × 59 × 25mm not including the bale
Great antique condition, a little wear to the gilding as to be expected, but as you can see it GLOWS! Some moron has rubbed it on a touchstone to test the metal (despite the clear marks!) so the very tip has a little scuff mark on it.
