Art Nouveau Flower Pendant - Made In France, Circa 1900

This is a lovely Art Nouveau pendant in 18-karat gold depicting a flower surrounded by stylized plant motifs and sinuous lines.

The piece combines two enameling techniques particularly common in the great Parisian workshops of the time: a translucent enamel known as “openwork enamel ” in a delicate milky white, and matte enamels, which are more prominent, in shades of green, yellow, and red. The combination of these textural and translucent effects lends the piece a remarkable balance and demonstrates great technical mastery in the service of elegance.

The pendant also features a detachable clasp that allows it to be used as a long necklace pendant, making it highly versatile.

The quality of its enamelwork makes this piece highly characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic and calls to mind certain creations by Albert Chambin.

Made in France, circa 1900.
Eagle-head hallmark.
Very good overall condition, with a few tiny chips in the matte enamel. The chain shown in the photographs is for illustrative purposes only and is not included in the sale.
