• Lot Description
  These lovely 18Kday-night floral cannetille earrings boast an incredible example of fine cannetille gold work. Popular in both England and France in the 1820's, cannetille was a type of filigree work named after the gold embroideries of the Napoleonic era. It lasted for a brief 2 decades, from 1820 to 1840. Similar to other earrings of Georgian design, the tops of the earrings can be separated from the bottoms, making them "day-night", with the tops suitable for conservative daytime wear and the complete earring perfect for any time of day. They are 1.75 inches long.
