C. MURAT Antique Silver Filigree Half Guard Chain, French Fancy Chain c. 1900

This lovely French chain made of high quality, shiny 800-900 silver, hallmarked on the end ring with a crab in photo eight along with a maker's mark C.M, for the famed French silver smith Charles Murat who was particularly active in the Art Nouveau period. A historic piece by one of the most well-known silversmiths of the era, it features beautiful navette links with filigree center detail joined by lengths of belcher chain. It was most likely shortened from a longer sautoir or muff chain at some point in the past. The condition is excellent with no missing detail or wear to the links. It closes with a spring ring at the neck that has good alignment and tension.
