A beautifully preserved Georgian navette mourning pendant, its delicate sepia miniature painted with a classical scene of a grieving figure beside an urn beneath a weeping willow. The artwork sits beneath a domed clear cover and is framed by a refined Gold bezek, creating a jewel that is both elegant and deeply sentimental.

On the plinth within the scene a subtle monogram “RW” can be seen, echoed by the flowing memorial inscription to the reverse: “R Wilson, OB 22 Sept 1786 at 15, 6m and 11 days”. Dating to c.1786 and testing as 9ct Gold, this tender piece captures the neoclassical spirit of late Georgian remembrance in a wearable, timeless form.
