Description

This Egyptian Revival Moses basket charm is a small but highly characterful piece, stamped 800 for continental silver. Designed as a miniature hinged basket, it opens to reveal a tiny figure of Moses inside. The exterior combines coloured enamel with engraved and repoussé-style detailing, while the painted enamel lid depicts an Egyptian landscape with a tall obelisk and trees.

Design & Craftsmanship

The charm is constructed as a fully opening miniature basket with a hinged lid and suspension loop for attaching to a bracelet or chain. Green and white enamel panels decorate the sides, while the upper surface carries a finely painted enamel scene. Inside, a small three-dimensional figure sits within the basket. Meanwhile, the 800 silver construction gives the piece a substantial feel for its scale and reflects the decorative novelty jewellery associated with Egyptian Revival design.

How to Style

This Egyptian Revival Moses basket charm would suit a collector of Egyptian Revival jewellery, antique charms or unusual symbolic miniatures. It could be worn on a traditional charm bracelet, added to a fine silver chain as a small pendant, or kept as part of a specialist collection.  It would also make a thoughtful gift for someone interested in Egyptology, historical jewellery or mechanical charms.
