Two cherubs appear in soft shades of grey and white against a delicate pink ground, giving the scene a quiet, poetic quality. The image has that intimate, reflective character so often admired in early 19th-century decorative art, while the gold surround frames it with warmth and restraint. A small jewel, but one with atmosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e  \u003cb\u003eJewellery Type\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e pendant \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e very good condition\u003cbr\u003emore info on our condition scale \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eprobably France or England \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eStyle\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   Georgian\u003cbr\u003emore info on styles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eStyle specifics\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOval enamel plaque in grisaille, showing two cherubs painted in shades of grey and white against a pink ground, within a gold surround.
