Rare ring featuring a miniature wax flower bouquet under a g - Lot 94
Rare ring featuring a miniature wax flower bouquet under a glass dome surrounded by a fine white enamel border, set in 14K gold (585/000). English craftsmanship from the mid-19th century. Gross weight: 14.15 g. TD: 50.5; Setting: 34.3 x 22.9 mm. (minor dirt under the glass, scratches) This unique ring reflects the resurgence in popularity of the tradition of wax flowers in Victorian England during the mid-19th century. The popularity of these compositions is notably associated with Emma Peachey (1809–1876), a British artist who specialized in creating highly lifelike wax flowers. Her works and demonstrations helped to widely popularize this decorative art among the bourgeois and aristocratic circles of the time.
