A onyx cameo set on a modern gold ring. Portrait of Wellington.
19th century
Stone 11 x 14 mm; ring diam 17 mm; 2,92 gr.
The head in profile facing right, in a dark-brown layer and white, short hair brushed forward, aquiline nose, clean shaven. Later ring mount (with maker’s mark LSB, hallmarked Birmingham 1951, ring size M). The portrait can be identified with certainty to the Duke of Wellington (Sir Arthur Wellesley, I duke of Wellington- Dublin, 1st may 1769 – Walmer, 14th september 1852), with numerous parallels in the medals of his period (British Museum, inv. M.6221; Brown 2494, etc.). Very fine condition.
European private collection. Ex- Hercules Collection, U.K.
