This is a pretty enamelled silver pendant in the Arts & Crats style with Medieval Revival Influences. The cruciform pendant is ornamented with fleur-de-lys motifs and beautiful blue, green and reddish-brown enamel. Fully hallmarked on the back for Birmingham 1909 and makers mark S&E which I have often seen referring to Schaverien & Eastmead. There's not much information on this company around, it seems they were just active for a few years in which they produced a range of enamel jewellery of high quality, comparable to Charles Horner. I have seen this pendant in a blue version as well.
stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Sean68! I agree :)
Wonderful!
It's unlikely to be Schaverien & Eastmead. See: http://schaverieneastmead.wordpress.com/
schaverien, thanks for the info. Even if the makers remain a mystery, it is still a beautiful period enamel piece, and the hallmark does read S&E.
See a similar one!
