in auction a art nouveau conch pearl plique a jour pendant

[dmj]

some years ago we got this piece in true a costumer who was selling some pieces its most likely american made and produced because we have also seen it with a mississippi pearl

the looks and age tells its art nouveau however because no makers mark its not 100 % sure the patina of the pendant is quite old so where sure its not a modern remake however in the 60s and 70s they also made lots of art nouveau looking pieces so a hard piece for us to judge

so for a conch pearl plique a jour and gold pendant if the auction is not going to high its a awesome piece and if someone knows its 100% sure art nouveau i will maybe buy it back if staying low

we sold it a year ago and now true that seller its back here and in auction again he thinks he gets 3000 i told him 1000 so interesting what its going to be it ends in three days so i will keep you guys updated

Exciting, keep us posted! The pearl is absolutely charming to my eye. Like watermelon candy corn.

How lovely!! The conch is in perfect condition for its age. Its obviously been kept safe and loved this whole time...

condition is pretty good does show some age tho is has a little hairline in the back front is all clean



what i like best is how the shape of the conch pearl goes with the shape of the pendant part we took like 100 pictures before i had the hairline on there because the light its hard to get it on there do have good documentation now

last week the same costumer also asked us to sell a piece with small natural pearls forgot to show you guys think it sold for around 260 pretty cheap for something made in holland around 1850 and in really good condition




the conch pendant however is a whole other pearl game its quite easy to find old pearl pieces at the moment however conch pearl pieces will always be hard

dmj - That Conch piece is gorgeous ! Those pearls are quite amazing .. I think I could stare into one for hours..quite mesmerising. Hisano's ring is one of my all time favourite pieces.

The little (?) cross is very sweet and the price was pretty good too ..

thanks for posting...keep us in the loop ... be interesting to see what it goes for..

Daniel, Thank you so much for remembering us and posting the photos! Wonderful pieces, LOVE seeing both front and back.

besides never having time i will try to show some more pieces when they come by we work with quite some sellers here and also make pictures for them so should post them more often

blaire, good to know they are not that old i figured when i came by some of them that the chance was small however no one gave me the maker i once emailed the seller with a similar one on etsy and she was 100 % sure for art nouveau , so when we sold it we made it in possible art nouveau because we had our doubts happy we did now its still worth quite some for the pearl so quite curious what it will do

katbran, the cross indeed went for a good price this one has marks from a dutch maker 150 years ago and went for almost the gold weight can only hope my own work will do better in 150 years

It seems when I was so busy looking at beautiful flowers (and eating mustard soup in the Netherlands, I should have saved some time to go look at jewelry ... won't make that mistake if I ever get back ... Thanks again for the photos dmj
