Antique Regency Cluster Necklace, ca 1830
Our Notes
Vauxhall, a region of London known for glassmaking that was far enough away from the center of town to keep the heart of London free from factory fumes. Starting in the 18th century, several glass factories there were known for producing a variety of wares, including hollowware, decorative objects, and jewelry.
Vauxhall is also home to Vauxhall Gardens, a popular Georgian/Victorian park. It is said that the local glassworks would sell souvenirs to passersby, growing Vauxhall jewelry’s popularity, especially since it was also perfectly suited for candlelit soirees.
The hallmarks of Vauxhall glass are very recognizable! Look for flat, unfaceted red, blue, purple, or colorless glass set above a mirrored layer.
In the Georgian period, garnets were a highly desirable stone, so it is no surprise that this dark red cluster necklace is similar in hue. Vauxhall jewelry has a unique place in jewelry history and is a great addition or start to an antique jewelry collection.
England, ca 1830
