Antique Victorian Enamelled ‘Risque’ Woman Charm Circa 1870-90
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
A rare little survivor dating to the Victorian era circa 1870-90, perhaps even a little earlier, in the form of a daring, and absolutely darling, ‘risqué’ charm.
Modelled as a Victorian lady with a wide brimmed bonnet, aqua-blue dress with a laced bodice, red stripes and little black boots.
On first appearances she looks modest .. but lift her skirt at the back and she reveals a very bare derrière!!
Two links fixed to the original loop behind her bonnet allow a chain to be threaded and worn as a pendant.
Crafted we believe in brass, or very low carat gold, with enamel over, this darling Madam has seen some love over the years and has lost some enamel, but lets ask ourselves how rarely these whimsical risqué pieces present to the market!
Perfect for the collector of Victorian whimsy, this seldom seen spicy charm is a must have.
