Art Nouveau Pearl & Turquoise Necklace - Murrle Bennett c.1905
£1,750.00
An elegant Edwardian fringe necklace attributed to Mürrle Bennett.
The necklace consists of a gold trace chain suspending 7 slightly graduated turquoise and baroque pearl drops. The baroque pearls are all caged in ornate gold wire, in a design typified by this famous maker.
The small cabochon turquose gemstines are a soft green in colour.
As was common with necklaces of this era (due to the small links) this piece is unmarked, but unmistakeably attributable to Murrle Bennett. There is a bolt ring fitting to the chain.
Murrle Bennett was started by Ernst Mürrle and J.B.Bennett in 1884 and operated until 1914. The company manufactured in both Germany and London in the UK. They became particularly well known for their wonderful, artistic Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts designs and were regularly stocked by Liberty of London.
