Exquisite Art Nouveau style 1920’s red and gold plate necklace.
Czech glass beads mounted on a faux filigree backing.
Art Nouveau became fashionable in the first decade of the 20th century with it’s curvilinear designs based on the natural world. Art Nouveau used less precious metals and stones and more glass, enamel and plated metals than the preceding Victorian era.. As the century progressed, this design style continued to be popular and this piece shows the development towards a hybrid nouveau and deco style.

Super stylish Art Deco 1930’s German Industrial style.
Jakob Bengel’s company originally made watch chains and moved into Art Deco jewellery production in the late 1920’s. Maurwerk (brick or wall work) offers a heightened machine or industrial futuristic aesthetic popular in art deco. Highly sought after, the factory ceased jewellery production due to the start of the 2nd World War.
Minor damage to enamel as you can see from the photos - hence the price. I’ve seen these elsewhere for over £400.
