An exquisite miniature sculpture in coral, this 20th century Momo Salmon coral cameo is a fine example of the carver's art at its most refined. Crafted from genuine, natural, undyed Momo coral — a variety celebrated for its soft, peachy salmon tones — the cameo has been painstakingly carved by hand to reveal a delicate relief portrait, a tradition stretching back centuries in the finest jewellery ateliers of Europe and Asia.
At 29 × 16 mm and 4.9 grams, the warm blush of the Momo coral provides a naturally beautiful backdrop for the carved design, the colour entirely authentic and untouched by dye or treatment. Versatile by design, it can be worn as a pendant, set into a brooch mount, or displayed as a ring centrepiece. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 20th century Momo Salmon coral cameo — a collector's piece of exceptional refinement and beauty.
