Agate and 18-karat gold cross in a box. European School. 19th century.

Descriptio Agate and 18-karat gold. Measurements: 6 x 4 x 0.4 cm. Latin cross crafted in reddish agate, with 18-karat gold ends and settings. The smooth surface of the semiprecious stone is enhanced by the warmth of the metal, creating a piece of marked sobriety and nobility. Presented in its original case, it reflects the devotional and ornamental use of crosses in 19th-century jewelry, where spirituality was combined with material refinement. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
