Vintage Art Deco heavy green glass bead and collet set cabochon Czech Neiger brothers or French necklace - fabulous large 3D centrepiece
Vintage Art Deco green glass bead and cabochon heavy necklace. Absolutely stunning piece with machine age chrome links with a gilt sheen still visible, interspersed with vibrant large green glass beads with attractive ribbed bead caps. The two side strands lead to a huge centrepiece made from two more large round beads and large oval glass cabochons in the same glowing green, set around a cylindrical piece of repousse metal.
I initially assumed this was a Czech piece from the Gablonz area, and this is a possibility. There is an example listed here saying it is by Max Neiger / Neiger brothers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335672217801. But there are also similarities with French makers, such as Louis Rousselet. It is clear when you handle the necklace that it is a quality piece.
It is in very good vintage condition.
