RARE Art Deco Czech Glass Figural Egyptian Revival Sautoir Necklace 37"

Jewelry : Vintage : Costume

 

This is an amazing glass beaded necklace that features several amazing one-of-a-kind Czech or even possibly French made opaque colored molded glass figural beads in the Egyptian Revival style. Very strong hand-knotting. In a color that compliments the red beads. The glass beads each depict a scene or feature of Egyptian lore and each has some yellow enamelling to give the figures definition. Very large central pendant with the amazing large sarcophagus side beads. Due to the archaeological finds of the 20s, there was great interest in all things Egyptian! That gave birth to the second coming of the Egyptian Revival period (also popularized in the 1800s with the first archaeological finds). Here is a wonderful period piece done in superb style and flair! It is in excellent condition. Vintage 20s Czech Deco Egyptian Revival. The central triangular shaped bead measures approx. 1 7/8" x 1 1/4". The horizontal bead that looks like the head of pharaoh measures approx. 1 1/8" x 5/8". The sarcophagus beads measure approx. 1 1/2" x 5/8".
