A floral greeting smiles back at us with this pair of earrings from the distant past. We see an enchanting blossom on a curved background. The surfaces of the small flowers are richly detailed and the leaves themselves reveal the veins. The graceful composition captivates the eye - even today, some 180 years after a master hand once created these earrings. The earrings, made around 1845, are made of yellow gold and, typical of the time, are hollow, made of so-called "foam gold". This involved beating wafer-thin sheets of gold into voluminous shapes over steel models. The earrings are therefore very light and comfortable to wear. The earwires snap securely into place at the top end of the earrings. A suspended gold pendant completes the delicate pendants and gives the pair an elegant movement. For dating, compare the numerous examples of similar earrings in Brigitte Marquardt: Schmuck. Realismus und Historismus. 1850–1895. Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, Munich 1998, pp. 316-321.
