An extraordinary example of early 20th-century Bohemian artistry, this antique Czech filigree necklace features ornate brass metalwork and vivid cobalt blue glass cabochons with molded floral designs.
Each glass stone is hand-pressed into an intricate floral relief pattern, imitating carved lapis or Peking glass — a technique perfected by Czech artisans between 1910–1930. The rectangular pendant base is adorned with fine brass filigree scrolls and granulation details, supporting three articulated drops that move gracefully when worn.
This design reflects the Austro-Hungarian Revival style, blending romantic detailing with exotic color, and is consistent with jewelry attributed to the Neiger Brothers and other pre-war Czech workshops known for their elaborate filigree and enamel work.
