Unique MidCentury Handcrafted Hammered 6BrassWires SpiralsLoopsSquiggles Pendant

About the Item

This vintage handcrafted brass-wire pendant was shaped and hammered into lively three-dimensional spirals, loops and squiggles with wrapped construction by an unknown 20th-Century studio artist judging from the lack of copyright/signature, modern mid-century distinct style, patina and single material. If purchased with our other listing for a likewise six-wire similarly-sized pendant that we acquired along with this one, the buyer can add pierced-ear wire to also use the pieces as asymmetrical dangle earrings that are each unique. The previous owner vaguely recalled that the two were purchased in Europe at an antiques market. There are no marks other than from the hand hammering.
