Antique 800 silver pendant brooch with a painted miniature of Saint Fabiola, inspired by the celebrated work of Jean-Jacques Henner. The piece stands out for its delicate openwork filigree and its devotional aesthetic of European inspiration.
The miniature depicts Saint Fabiola with her characteristic red mantle and serene profile, an image deeply linked to spiritual symbolism and European art of the early 20th century. The frame features elaborate filigree work with cord details and small decorative spheres, typical of modernist artisan jewelry. It retains its original pin and integrated bail, allowing it to be worn as both a brooch and a pendant. An ideal collector's item for lovers of religious art and historical jewelry.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
