SUPERB 19thC ANTIQUE MEISSEN PORCELAIN ANGEL PUTTO CHERUB BROOCH HAND PAINTED MINIATURE

FAINT CROSSED SWORDS MARK

HAND PAINTED MINIATURE

On offer is a stunning quality antique porcelain brooch by Meissen, complete with original retailer's fitted case, we believe. A small masterpiece of art, believed to be after Raphael.

The exceptional quality, and the fact that it has beautiful original box makes it a wonderful item for any collection. 

The Box and Retailer: Jones, 41 St James Street, London SW. (Details of company below).

Thomas Jones: St James Street, Piccadilly, London - 18 Golden Square, Soho, London - 23 Boulevard des Capucines, Paris. Business established: c 1877 - 1905. 

It seems highly likely it is the original box by this notable 19thC retailer. The brooch sits perfectly to the point that when closed there is no movement or rattle whatsoever. 

Brooch measures: 35mm.

Condition: Used. Very good. Pin has a mild bend only. The surround, (possibly silver (?)  but will call it white metal)  has a couple of small nicks at edge. Box, very good. See all photos.
