Description

A beautiful antique piece of Danish Skonvirke jewellery. Skonvirke is the Danish word used for Art Nouveau. Crafted by hand in the c1900 era, this is a large and tactile piece of work. The combination of the apple green chrysoprase and the silver is such a lovely one and so typical of the era.

I love the way there are two chains suspending the pendant and they come together in a useful hook clip, so you can just slot this pendant over one of your own chains. The double chains are mirrored by the two lower chains suspended below the main part of the pendant. There is a wonderful, original chrysoprase drop between the two chains. It catches the light and changes tone very easily from dark to that wonderful apple green.

In excellent condition and fully marked with the “830” silver mark of the era, as well as with the “HF” maker’s mark. The pendant measures approx 10.3cm in height, including the hook.  It is approx 4.2cm wide.

I will package carefully and post with Special Delivery or else International Tracked and Signed. The box in the images is not included but I will package in a new gift box. Thank you!
