Art Deco Enamel Borzoi Pendant
Reference: GS4585
A wonderful 1920s guilloché enamel silver circular pendant depiciting a borzoi. The powder blue background has a side profile of a white borzoi in the centre, the back is plain blue enamel. This pendant has Euoropean silver hallmarks on the pendant loop. Guilloché enamel began around 1750. Silversmiths started to use the rose engine lathe to cut metal surfaces with intricate patterns – such as waves and ripples, staggered lines, or sunburst rays – at an even depth and with precision. They then applied a layer of coloured glass powder to these surfaces and fused this to the metal with intense heat which was then polished to a high shine. This new marriage of engraving and enamelling marked the creation of guilloché, with its richly coloured and luminescent surfaces.
