Antique Iberian earrings in 18K yellow gold, crafted around 1750 in the Baroque style. With their long, articulated design and richly curved forms, they embody the exuberance and symmetry typical of the period. Each is set with a suite of glowinggarnets, their deep red tones adding warmth and drama. Owing to the delicacy of their goldwork, many such earrings have not survived, making this pair a rare presence on today’s market and a fine testament to Iberian craftsmanship.
Jewellery Type earrings long hanging
Condition not perfect condition. The reverse of each earring shows a significant loss of gold at the lower sections, exposing the original lacquer filling. This is the most noticeable wear, yet from the front the earrings remain acceptable. Smaller areas of goldloss can also be seen at other reverse parts, though far less obvious. more info on our condition scale
Country of origin Although it carries no legible control marks, we believe this piece to be of Spanish or Portuguese origin, as the design is typical of 18th-century Iberian earrings.
