This fine pendant was created around 1820 - in the era we know today as Biedermeier. In the aftermath of Napoleon's terrible wars and the turmoil of the revolutions, many European citizens were looking for peace and quiet. Friendships and quietly nurtured love defined the world of inward-looking feelings. Faith regained importance and domestic happiness also became the subject of the arts. The pendant reflects this taste: it is made of warm, shimmering gold and has glass lids on both sides. Inside is a lovingly painted miniature - a basket of flowers, richly detailed and colorful, is at the center of the depiction. The painting is remarkably delicate and reflects the romantic preference of the Biedermeier period for floral motifs and symbolic representations. Such miniatures were often worn as mementos or tokens of affection. The miniature is framed by a wreath of small, red coral beads, which give the pendant a lively accent. In the 19th century, coral was considered protective and life-giving - and with its intense red, it also corresponded to the preference of the time for bright colors. The pendant thus combines emotional meaning with creative beauty - a typical testimony to Biedermeier jewelry culture. The pendant was always worn with pleasure. The loop and the chain are later additions, but they fit in well with the original piece.
