Vintage sterling silver pendant in the Art Nouveau style, with an irregular circular composition. It features a female bust in profile, surrounded by raised flowers, leaves, and plant motifs. The surface work combines raised and recessed areas, creating contrasts between the shine of the silver and the dark patina. The wavy edge incorporates small decorative openings, and the piece is completed with a top ring for suspension from a chain.

This pendant recalls the Art Nouveau aesthetic of the early 20th century, particularly the prominence of the female figure, floral motifs, and organic forms. Its design is a vintage reinterpretation of that decorative language, common in modernist-inspired pieces made during the last decades of the 20th century. The combination of figurative relief and an aged finish gives it an artisanal and decorative character.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
