Large Georgian 14k Gold Mounted Portrait miniature pendant

Description

Large Georgian 14k Gold Mounted Portrait miniature pendant. Very fine portrait<br>miniature from the 18th to early 19th century mounted in a thick frame made of<br>solid 14+K gold. I disassembled this to get an accurate test without damaging<br>the exterior and it is solid 14k or more but less than 18k gold. Upon<br>disassembly I found three pieces of paper shown in the interior, one was the cut<br>in half, when put together it reads<br><br>Lane Portrait and Miniature Painter 135 High Street Portsmouth, then on the back<br>perhaps the reciept for this portrait.<br><br>Then the other paper reads this<br>Mr Oct. _______<br>Great George Street<br>Westminister<br><br>I was really surprised to find these clues though I don't have much time to<br>follow up on them they are interesting. I have put the pieces of paper back<br>inside where they have safely hid for the past 200 or so years. It is 3.5" tall<br>without the extra loose top ring x 2 3/8" wide 44.8 grams. The pictures were<br>taken after reassembly and careful cleaning of the 200+ year old gold frame.
