Lot no. 25
This 19th century ring in copper-plated metal features a highly original miniature token of friendship protected by a bevelled niccolo. A young woman keeps the fire of friendship burning by throwing flowers into a finely decorated pillar under the gentle gaze of a cherub. This type of ring is very common to commemorate the bereavement of a loved one by depicting an urn or skull beside which the survivor weeps. Here, the subject is rarer and very well executed. Engraved and distorted ring.
