Antique Large Lion Claw Silver Necklace
About the Item
Here we have an amazing example of this fine art rendered as a necklace. Actual lion claws of graduated size have been capped with coin silver. Two rows of claws interspersed with hollow coin silver medallions of the stylized head of a lion set with red glass eyes drape across the décolletage. As gargoyles atop a Gothic building, chains of silver links attempt to control the six ferocious beasties and their cache of fifteen claws.
Measurements: Length of the chain at the shortest is 16 inches (40 cm). Length of drop from the center to the lowest point is 4-5/8 inches (11.7 cm). Width from tiger claw end to tiger claw end on top row is 9-7/8 inches (25 cm). Width of larger tiger pendant is 1-5/16 inches (3.3 cm). Length of longest claw is 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm). Weight of 98.0 grams (63.0 dwt).
- Date of Manufacture:Circa 1900
- Condition:Very good; patina to silver lion plaques; due to natural materials each claw has minor variations in color and surface texture but all very fine; later replaced "C" clasp.
