Vintage Neiger Brothers Art Deco heavy green Peking glass bead necklace with beautiful gold tone features - by Max Neiger

Vintage Art Deco green Peking glass bead and gold tone heavy necklace. Absolutely stunning piece with beautifully made gold tone repousse features and bead caps, interspersed with vibrant large green Peking glass beads in various shapes, including cylindrical shapes. I can't do it justice in writing, please do look at the pictures carefully and message me if you require more.

I have had this necklace variously described as Louis Rousselet or Neiger brothers, depending on which internet fanatic I was being convinced by - for which I apologise. I do believe it's a Neiger necklace, as I originally stated - however collectors should be aware that most people pretending to know what is Neiger and what is not, probably do not! There is very little documented about specific Neiger designs -some are very clear, eg the Egyptian and Chinese style pieces, but it was common for other makers to produce copies as well. This is a stunning piece however, and is in very good vintage condition.

A plea: Please don’t message me aggressively outlining the ways in which your opinions on Neiger pieces differ from mine or those of other varied “experts”. Ideally, don’t message me at all unless you’d like more information on the item or to exchange ideas in a pleasant fashion. The fact is that the Neiger brothers were cruelly murdered by the Nazis like so many other innocent people. All records have been lost and ‘research’ into the history is incredibly sparse and lacking in evidence, so all opinions on what was and wasn’t produced by them are just that - opinions. And as we know - everybody’s got them!
