Antique Victorian Gold Pendant Earrings

Antique jewellery object group: long pendant earrings

Condition: very good condition

Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of Dutch, Belgian or French origin.
The reason we doubt between the Netherlands and Belgian or France is that on one hand, these earrings are typically for Belgium and France, but the alloy of 14ct is not; 14 carat gold is typically for the Netherlands.

Style: Victorian – Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the middle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration.

The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau style have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.
