French pendant - ca. 1800
Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2024 2:00 pm
Dear members,
this pendant (6 cm x 4,5 cm) is not hallmarked.
In the middle are four stylized French flowers “Fleur de Lys”.
I suspect that it was made in France, around 1800.
The pendant comes from Sachrang, a small village just one kilometer from the Austrian border.
The Napoleonic wars from 1792 - 1815 took place in this district.
Sachrang was accidentally attacked by French troops who believed they were in Austrian territory.
Does anyone know of a comparable piece of jewelry?
I gratefully accept any information.
Regards
Silverstone
