Early 19th Century Large Red Vauxhall Glass Maltese Cross Pendant

872S
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really impressive Maltese cross which has been set with bevelled ruby red Vauxhall glass on the cross and the bale above. These lovely reflective glass jewels continued to be produced through the end of the Georgian era (1830), the entire Regency period (1830-1837) and well into the late Victorian age. They were the perfect affordable alternative to expensive gems in precious metal settings. This cross dates to around 1835. The reverse is base metal.
