Maurice Daurat Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Necklace with Citrine and Dragonfly

About the Item

Sterling silver necklace designed by French jeweler Maurice Daurat, active during the Art Nouveau period. This piece features two sculptural insects, likely dragonflies, symmetrically flanking a large, oval-cut citrine. The citrine displays a rich golden-yellow hue and is securely held in a custom-fitted silver mount, integrated into the stylized insect forms. The detailed figural work and flowing organic lines are characteristic of Daurat’s style and the broader Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized natural forms and fluid, asymmetrical design. Daurat’s work is held in public collections and occasionally appears in museum exhibitions related to early 20th-century French decorative arts. The necklace is suspended on an original delicate twisted silver chain with a discreet clasp. This piece reflects both the technical skill and symbolic aesthetics of turn-of-the-century French Art Nouveau jewelry.
