Large Georgian 14k Gold Mounted Portrait miniature pendant. Very fine portrait miniature from the 18th to early 19th century mounted in a thick frame made of solid 14+K gold. I disassembled this to get an accurate test without damaging the exterior and it is solid 14k or more but less than 18k gold. Upon disassembly I found three pieces of paper shown in the interior, one was the cut in half, when put together it readsLane Portrait and Miniature Painter 135 High Street Portsmouth, then on the back perhaps the reciept for this portrait.Then the other paper reads this
Mr Oct. _______
Great George Street
WestministerI was really surprised to find these clues though I don\'t have much time to follow up on them they are interesting. I have put the pieces of paper back inside where they have safely hid for the past 200 or so years. It is 3.5\" tall without the extra loose top ring x 2 3/8\" wide 44.8 grams. The pictures were taken after reassembly and careful cleaning of the 200+ year old gold frame.
