Vintage Art Deco machine age chrome silver tone and brass gold tone, green 'Peking' style glass necklace and screw back earrings set
Delicate vintage Art Deco necklace and screw back earrings set, which is likely to be a Czech set, possibly even by the Neiger brothers. I have seen other examples of the necklace alone, in various colours elsewhere attributed to Jakob Bengel, but I suspect this is not a Bengel piece. It also has features similar to pieces from French makers like Louis Rousselet. The design has classic Art Deco streamlined lines, with beautiful silver and gold tone metal work detailing. The glass colour is a stunning mottled green - the glass pieces and beads are 'Peking' style glass.
The necklace has a length of about 17.5 inches and fastens with a secure spring ring clasp. The earrings are a little over half an inch long and fasten with antique screw backs (so no piercing is required). The set is in very good vintage condition. I also have a similar necklace listed with burgundy glass pieces instead of the green.
