This large, round photo pendant dates from the late Georgian period in England in 1810. It is made of Pinchbeck, a compound metal, and is colored using the mirror painting technique (Verre glomis). Verre glomis is a technique translated from French, which means painting a design on the back of glass, often using gold foil as a decorative medium. Because the painting is on the back of the glass, the patterned glass surface still feels as smooth as a mirror, so it is also called mirror painting. Over time, the term now generally refers to any technique using oil paint and gold leaf painted on the back of glass. Pinchbeck is a non-precious metal mixed formula material, an alloy made of Bronze and zinc mixed in a special ratio to achieve a visual effect similar to gold. It was invented by London watchmaker Christopher Pinchbeck in the early 18th century as a more affordable version of 18k gold. However, this formula became legal after 9k gold became legal in the UK. Gradually lost. The painting on the photo pendant uses two refreshing tones of white and blue, with a continuous pattern composed of gold foil, just like a noble and exquisite picture frame. The overall simplicity and elegance can also show the charm of handcrafting. The metal body is partially oxidized and faded, but the pattern is mostly intact. There are also traces of wearing on the glass part. The photo pendant cannot be tightly sealed. It is not recommended to put it in. The overall condition is consistent with the age. It is a century-old antique and is not in new condition.
