Author: Worcester Royal Porcelain Company.Etruscan revival pendant mid-late 19th century Probably Eugêne Fontenay While the pendant is not marked by Eugène Fontenay (1824-1887), it exhibits many of stylistic features closely associated with his work, including the matte enamel decoration, and the use of rose-cut diamonds, fine granulation, and beading. Fontenay was one of the leading jewelers working in France in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, and his jewelry was considered among the most technically refined of the work produced at this time. Much of Fontenays jewelry was influenced by the antique jewelry of the Campana collection, purchased by the French state in 1861. This Etruscan revival pendant is a reflection of Fontenays keen interest in classical prototypes. It is only the second work by Fontenay to enter the Museums collection. The pendant belongs to a distinguished group of archaeological jewelry from the second half of the nineteenth century in the Metropolitan Museum.. Etruscan revival pendant.
