Written by Olly Gerrish

An attractive Neo Classical coral pendant that was made circa 1820, and is most probably Neapolitan coral. At that time it was very fashionable to go on the Grand Tour which took in European Roman sites such as Pompeii. This carved coral cameo would have been sold to the tourists. It is of a lady’s head and is surmounted by a decorative gold top.
