Antique Silver Powder Box Pendant, Vintage French Silver Mistletoe Art Nouveau Locket

Antique Silver Powder Box Pendant, Vintage French Silver Mistletoe Art Nouveau Locket

A beautiful example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship, this lovely powder box pendant was used to carry rouge. I've refrained from thoroughly cleaning the inside of all traces of the red as I think it adds a nice touch of history and authenticity to the piece, but if you prefer to have all of it removed before shipping just leave a note at check-out. Featuring a stunning mistletoe repousse motif, the top opens to reveal a mirror in excellent condition. The pendant is sold with a thick and heavy curb chain hallmarked with a crab. As you can see in photos, the top and bottom of the pendant were soldered together but have started to lightly come apart at the seam. Unfortunately, as the high temperature required to solder the piece would melt the silver and damage the mirror, the pendant is unable to be repaired. The defect is not visible when worn and if treated with care it should still last for many years. It's an absolutely stunning piece which still deserves to be appreciated and worn, but please do note that it is in antique condition and check the photos and videos for details. It has been priced down for this reason.
