Dlg d'H. Böhm: Rare Saint George Neo Renaissance Seal Pendant In Enameled Silver. 19th Century

Rare neo-renaissance enamelled silver pendant forming a seal.

This is most likely an Austrian work from the end of the 19th century, in the style of Hermann Böhm's production.

Active from 1866, Hermann Böhm is a goldsmith renowned for his production inspired by the princely collections of Eastern Europe. He is famous for his neo-renaissance enamelled pieces depicting mythological episodes.

The pendant represents Saint George slaying the dragon. He rides his steed which rears up on the beast, his lance preparing to pierce it.

The horse is all enamelled in white, Saint George is enamelled in blue and black, the beast in green.

The terrace of the pendant forms a seal numbered DG (?).

The pendant is held by a small beaded chain.

The bail is hallmarked:
