Antique Latin cross pendant decorated with multicolored glass floral micromosaic on a brass base. This Italian piece dates from the 1920s and 1940s and is lavishly decorated with miniature micromosaic, an artisanal technique using tiny glass tiles arranged by hand to form highly detailed and colorful floral motifs. The decoration features a variety of flowers in shades of pink, blue, white, and yellow on a black background, framed by metallic thread.
The piece, without visible markings, is made on a brass or gilt bronze base, with an engraved suspension ring and a solid structure. Of Italian origin, this type of jewelry was especially popular as a souvenir among Grand Tour travelers during the second half of the 19th century and beyond. It is highly prized by collectors.
Micromosaic combines technical precision with floral symbolism and a religious character. Ideal as a collector's item or devotional accessory with a great aesthetic impact.
