French Deco Egyptian Revival scarabs Bracelet
Though I love silver and the gallery here more than reflects the preference, I cannot stay away from beautiful, old jewelry even when they are made of other materials. The gorgeous French Deco Egyptian Revival bracelet presented here is a costume piece yet it was simply irresistible. I love the antique brass finish, the two sizes of scarabs that form the links and the sugar-loaf type molded black glass gems that adorn it. Sheer elegance - who can do it better than the French?
Size / Weight: 7” long by 1 3/16” wide at center front; 35.3 grams (FYI only since there isn’t any precious metal here)
Hallmarks / Date: “MADE IN FRANCE”; 1910s-20s
Condition: excellent vintage with wonderful patina and a beautiful design, some expected minimal wear to the black glass cabs and the brass finish that is very difficult to spot with a naked eye, with no damage and no repairs noted - a fantastic example of French Deco Egyptian Revival costume jewelry
