Enamelled gold slide set with a coral cameo of Christ. France 17th century

An enamelled gold slide set with a coral cameo of Christ

French, mid 17th century, the coral cameo of Christ is Sicilian and dates to the first half of the 17th century

Measures 4.3 x 3.3cm

The centre of the slide features a coral cameo carved with the head of Christ, most likely a souvenir of a pilgrim who had travelled to Southern Italy. The coral head of Christ is set upon a billowing white enamel veil of Saint Veronica, the crucifix behind. The crucifix is slightly raised and on the most part undecorated, aside from the engraved edges creating a sense of perspective. The background decorated in rich, royal blue enamel. The reverse of the slide is decorated with black floral swags encircling a rose on a turquoise enamel ground. Some chipping and wear to the enamel and the chin of Christ but without restoration and all commensurate with its age.
