Art Deco Czech Blue Vauxhall Mirror Glass Fan Rivière Necklace Signed Czechoslov.
A stunning and highly collectible original Art Deco era (c. 1920s-1930s) necklace featuring vibrant sapphire blue Vauxhall mirror glass. This piece sold with an associated hard case presentation box, is a classic example of the high-quality costume jewellery exported from Czechoslovakia during the "Golden Age" of glass production. This is a beautiful Rivière/ step necklace composed of 22 individual fan-shaped - accordion-faceted - glass links of cobalt blue "Vauxhall" glass with mirrored foil backing that creates exceptional depth and brilliance when it catches the light. Set in a warm gold-tone brass frame with delicate “three dot” trefoil prong clasps. Clearly stamped "Czechoslov" on the jump ring/ clasp, confirming its authentic Bohemian heritage, the closure being the original spring-ring bolt clasp. Measuring 40cm long in total when unclasped and in excellent vintage condition. The blue glass is free from chips, cracks or visible repairs, the mirrored backing is vibrant and intact with no visible "foxy" spotting - often seen in pieces of this age. - The metal has a light natural patina to the brass consistent with age. Please review all the photos to gain a better understanding of the condition, as they form part of the condition report. This is a beautiful all original antique art deco period necklace featuring individual claw set sapphire blue Vauxhall glass fan shaped stones in a brass linked Rivière/ step style setting with closed backs to protect the original mirrored foiling. A truly wonderful gift, or addition to any jewellery collection, a perfect addition to any outfit that would make you stand out in any crowd or social gathering.#14
