AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique costume pendant features a decorative gold-finished metal structure with an openwork symmetrical pattern, adorned with beaded reliefs and volutes. The visible side is crafted in a baroque style, with a succession of small molded pearls and embossed arabesques, giving the whole a rich and elegant appearance.

On the lower part of the pendant, five black matte pearl-shaped charms are suspended, each attached by a small metal ring. The pearls, with a slightly satin finish, contrast sharply with the brilliance of the gilded metal, creating a sophisticated play of textures and colors. The attachments are discreet and well integrated into the overall design.

The piece evokes a retro inspiration, typical of costume jewelry from past decades, with attention paid to ornamental details. The item is photographed on a light presentation cushion, in an antique jewelry box, highlighting its decorative character and strong vintage style.

The pendant has an elongated triangular silhouette, enhanced by the volume of the pearls. No markings or signatures are visible on the displayed side. The patina of the gilded metal and some signs of wear on the pearls attest to its age and add to the retro charm of the object.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The item shows superficial signs of wear, including some small scratches or chips on the black pearls, without impacting the overall structure. The gilding retains a beautiful shine, with a light patina, typical of antique jewelry.
