Antique Georgian Sterling Silver & Vauxhall Glass Flower Earrings

Prezzo unitario

Imposte incluse.

Dating to around 1820 these beautiful Georgian Vauxhall Glass silver earrings are rare survivors indeed.

For pierced ears these historic earrings have tiles of beautifully faceted black glass tiles arranged in geometric flower motifs, a delightful tiered design intended to catch candlelight and sparkle enchantingly. The earrings have sterling silver dome & hook fittings on the backs which are later replacements

This lovely feminine flower motif is a characteristic of true period Vauxhall Glass jewellery which was manufactured with leftover glass shards sourced from the old glassworks in Vauxhall, London. The jewellery was sold at the infamous Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Part art gallery, part fashion show and part brothel the pleasure gardens operated between the years 1729 and 1859 and defined the city's fashionable nightlife. Pleasure garden tales of concerts, and balloon-flights to drunkenness and debauchery were the talk of Georgian London!

Steeped in history these Regency era gems are a must-have for a Georgian jewellery collector. Not surprisingly due to the fragile nature of glass, true period Vauxhall Glass jewellery is a real rarity!
