Antique ArtNouveau European FauxLampwork Glass Flora CherryBlossom Long Necklace
About the Item
With a silver clasp that could be as old as the Victorian period and in an Art-Nouveau style with pale intricate flora motifs, this antique long glass necklace features lampwork-like hand-pressed glass that realizes pink, frosted and clear flowers, leaves, and cherries in nine stations strung along most of the lower necklace. The semi-transparent and reflective beads of various sizes and depth on the necklace, many of which are intermittently clustered via multiple darkened brass pins that each attach to the white silk cord, cast many shadows so that grey appears to be one of its colors against our white background.
Although the glass at first appears to be French or Italian lampwork given the atypical bead shapes and textures, the use of hand-pressed molds--which is evidenced on some of the thicker molten glass beads by a continuous seam on the exterior of the crackled cherries--was common after WWI ended in 1918 as a growing cottage industry in the Bavarian-Hapsburg region of Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia. This was during the dawn of ready-to-wear costume jewelry when glass beads became fashionable and before factory machine presses and associated glass-finishing tumblers were available to increase production. Comparatively by at least 1920, the major glass-specialized Parisian workshops for unique costume jewelry, which was popularized by Art Nouveau artisans such as Rene Lalique, were established with the leading paruriers, perfumiers and couturiers as their clients.
While it indicates its century-old age, some of the textural glass beads have accumulated organic matter that we can try to remove upon request. With a loop, non-removable verdigris is seen speckling the brass wires at the clustered stations.
To fasten, the clasp has a flat hook that is inserted in its tube to securely snap to the perforated sides.

- MiriamHaskell 1930s Hess TorsadeSet GiltFiligreeCap FauxPearls Earrings & ChokerBy Frank Hess for Miriam HaskellLocated in Chicago, ILDuring the Art Deco period, Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess designed this blue-and-white glass-beaded hand-sewn torsade set of dangle earrings and a choker necklace, whose knotted string is capped with their characteristic Russian-gilt brass flora filigree. Coinciding with the American Great Depression, to offer some less expensive costume jewelry than her initial ready-to-wear styles featuring Parisian hand-crafted materials found in French couture, Haskell reduced the cost of some of her findings by locally sourcing stamped metal and incorporating hand-pressed glass beads from Germany and Czechoslovakia. With a loop, the line from hand pressing the glass can only be found on the blue beads, while the white ones are coated in an organic material like authentic French faux pearls. The ends of the textured cords that string the beaded set were frayed to form a fuzzy opaque dome that hides the knots attached to the filigree caps. No Haskell jewelry was signed before 1947. The unsigned necklace...Category
