In an era when art and beauty were at the centre of human endeavour, a pendant was once made that has stood the test of time. It is made of 800 silver and its grandeur lies in the simple elegance of its material and workmanship. The pendant, designed in the shape of a putto's head, is a masterpiece of silversmithing from the 1880s that is fascinating both in its aesthetic design and its symbolic meaning.
This putto, a child from the depths of the Italian artistic tradition, embodies a world of purity and youthful freedom with its childlike, innocent expression and delicate features. Depicted without wings, this head is surrounded by carefully designed acanthus tendrils that wind elegantly around it. These tendrils, typical of Renaissance ornamentation, lend the pendant a dynamic yet harmonious aura.
The pea chain on which the putto hangs is also made of 800 silver and blends seamlessly into the overall picture. Its links are fine and even, creating a gentle, flowing line around the wearer's neck. The pendant itself bears the patina of centuries, an originally preserved surface that whispers stories of times gone by. This patina is not only a sign of age, but also of the authenticity and deep cultural significance of the piece.
