AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Signed silver Art Nouveau 'Lavalier' with guilloché technique, decorated with a flower basket and a border of small silver beads, beautiful and skilled workmanship by a fine silversmith with the initials B&G, unfortunately not known to me but worth investigating!
The pendant hangs on a very fine, elegant Jasseron chain.
It was made around 1900–1910, probably in the United Kingdom!
The pendant has a hallmark on the back that reads 'sterling', indicating a high silver content.
Master's mark B&G and two more stamps, but they are difficult to decipher!
Total chain length: 46.5 cm. It has two stamps on the last link; unfortunately not legible, but acid-tested indicating a high silver content.
Pendant dimensions: 4.5 cm L x 2.5 cm W.
Weight : 14.75 grams.

The guilloché technique combines mechanical engraving with translucent enamel (colored glass powder that is melted onto the metal by intense heat) and can only be performed with specialized machines, so-called ornamental lathes.
It is a technique for decorating a metal or silver surface with geometric patterns.
Some say that it was a French engineer named Guillot who first developed a lathe for engraving patterns in metal.
Other sources claim that guilloché was invented by the German Hans Schwanhardt!
Photos are enlarged; please check the specifications for dimensions.
The necklace is lightly cleaned and shipped registered and insured in a Gift-Box with Track and Trace.
Any customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
