AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This fascinating set is an authentic attic-find that perfectly embodies the opulent craftsmanship of the Mid-Century era. The set captivates with its exceptionally dense design consisting of countless, intricately detailed floral elements.
Material & Construction:
• Flowers: Made from early molded celluloid, each flower was individually strung onto an inner wire frame by hand with meticulous effort.
Beads & Details: At the nape/neck area and at the clasp, the set is enhanced with beautiful opaque glass beads (Custard Glass) as well as transparent faceted glass beads and delicate brass bead caps.
Clasp: Classic, authentic spring-ring clasp made of brass with lovely patina, integrated into the hand-worked wire frame.
Condition:
• All flowers are complete – no missing elements in the floral pattern!
• Condition note: In keeping with its age, one of the yellow glass beads has a small, minimal chip (see detail photos), which does not detract from the historical character and authenticity as an attic-find.
Dimensions & Weight (approx.):
• Necklace: Length: 42 cm | Weight: 125 g
• Bracelet: Length: 22 cm | Weight: 72 g
• Total weight: An outstanding 198 g – a very heavy, valuable, and substantial set!
Signature: The set is unstamped / without a hallmarked mark.
Important notes about the sale:
• Research: All of the above information and details (such as material determination and temporal context) are based on my own careful research to the best of my knowledge.
