This pendant shows a fine enamel painting in a frame of high-carat gold. It depicts the portrait of a lady with a large feathered hat against a blue background. The colors of the depiction are delicate and look like a pastel drawing, which goes very well with the lady's dreamy gaze. It is a work from the workshop of the enamel artist Camille Fauré from Limoges, as the signature on the reverse reveals. Fauré was born in Périgueux on November 16, 1874 and began experimenting with new methods for producing glossy and frosted enamel decorations in 1919. The "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" in 1925 was his breakthrough. He opened his own workshop and salesroom in Limoges and took on several employees. After Fauré's death in 1956, his daughter Andrée Fauré took over the business. "C. Fauré Limoges" closed its doors in 1985. We believe that the pendant with its enamel painting was created around 1950. We discovered the pendant in the Rhineland and added a matching gold chain.

Limoges in southwest France was the European center for artistic enamel painting in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Particularly in the 16th century, precious plates and candlesticks for princely households were created here, decorated with detailed scenes from ancient mythology or biblical stories to stimulate conversation at the table. After falling out of fashion in the Baroque period, these collector's items were rediscovered in the 19th century and today adorn the collections of the most famous museums of decorative arts.
