CARTIER Taurus zodiac pendant in yellow gold and enamel
Splendid vintage circular pendant in solid 18-karat (750/1000) yellow gold, stamped with an eagle's head hallmark and the goldsmith's lozenge hallmark 'AXC'. French work from the 1960s, produced in the Cartier workshop. Unsigned.
The pendant represents the astrological sign of Taurus (April 21 - May 20). The animal's body is made of finely textured gold covered with rich gold-colored enamel. The setting is made of translucent red plique-Ă -jour enamel. There is no engraving on the reverse.
Height including the bail: 2.7 cm
Diameter: 2 cm
Weight: 2.69 g
Condition: Very good, with minor scratches on the gold parts. The enamel is complete and in very good condition, which is particularly rare. This is a piece of jewelry suitable for men or women.
This extraordinary zodiac pendant, colorful and luminous, is a genuine collector's item.
Note: I have cataloged a pendant from the same zodiac series bearing the "Cartier" signature engraved on the back and the same maker's mark AXC (probably from the Adrien Chobillon workshop in Paris). Note that this model was also made by Arthus Bertrand, but in that case, it bears the maker's mark AB.
Fast and careful shipping in a beautiful new box with an invoice (the old presentation box shown in the photo is not included in the sale). Sold without a chain.
