About the Item
This outstanding Egyptian Revival pendant dates from c.1900 and was most likely created in Germany.
Condition Report:
Excellent
The Details...
This pendant is constructed from silver gilt. It is stamped on its reverse with 900. A silver mark commonly associated with pieces made in Germany. The pendant features an Egyptian Revival bird motif, perhaps a depiction of the god Horus, a mythical Ba bird or an Ibis. The wings and tail of the bird are enhanced with green Plique-á-Jour enamel and enamel. The body of the bird is accented with a bezel set, oval cut, green paste stone. The pendant measures 5.25cm x 2cm. The bail for the pendant is suspended above with two chains. It has a drop of 2.5cm.
A Short History...
Enamelling is a technique closely associated with the jewellery of the early 1900s. The Plique à Jour form of enamel work was particularly prevalent at the time. A French term - it translates as “letting in the daylight”. Working similar to a stained glass window, Plique à Jour work has a metal outline filled with various coloured and transparent, glass-like enamels. Plique-à-jour provides a natural translucency, similar to that found in nature, which made it ideal for rendering leaves, flowers and wings. Although unmarked, this piece bears a strong resemblance to signed jewels by the German designer and painter Georg Kleemann. I have had in my possession another Egyptian Revival bird Plique à Jour pendant necklace of similar construction and design to this one, which had a Kleemann mark to the reverse. This piece is, therefore, most likely to be one of his designs.
Wear it With...
Suspend this pendant from a delicate silver gilt chain in a v-neckline to allow the enamel to really capture the light.

View All1920s Egyptian Revival Silver Gilt and Enamel Vintage Charms Necklace
Located in Skelmersdale, GB
This beautiful necklace is emblematic of the evocative 1920s Egyptian Revival aesthetic and was made in France.
Condition Report:
Very Good - A slight kink in the chain and a tiny bend at the base of one of the charms. This is consistent with age and use and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
The Details...
Although un-hallmarked, this necklace is most likely constructed from silver gilt. It features a delicate herringbone chain. Suspended from the chain is a selection of Egyptian inspired charms. There are Ankhs, Lotus flowers and Hamsa hand symbols. There are also three postage stamp charms detailed with skiff boats on the Nile and the goddess, Hathor. The necklace fastens with a bolt ring and measures 38cm in length.
A Short History...
In 1922, Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun and, thereby, ignited a Western fascination with Ancient Egypt which permeated the Arts. Jewellery designers created heavily stylised profiles of people and hieroglyphs taken from tomb walls, as can be seen in this necklace. Reviving Egyptian...

A Short History...
The term Jugendstil, meaning "Young Style," was derived from the magazine Die Jugend and describes an art and design movement which took place in Germany and Austria from c.1896 through to c.1915. Taking place at the same time as the Art Nouveau movement, which was inspired by the natural world, Jugendstil was also heavily influenced by organic shapes but contrasted them with geometric forms resulting in very stylised designs. Important Jugendstil jewellery designers were Carl Herman, Meyle and Mayer...
