4.5*4.2cm Wt:12.8g
French antique jewel dating to the Art-Nouveau period, circa 1890-1905, crafted in 18-carat gold. Modelled as a dynamically coiled high-relief Chimera mythical beast, with finely chased scales and wing details embodying the fluid organic aesthetics of Art-Nouveau. Its outstretched wings pav??-set with natural rubies. The creature’s jaws hold an old-cut diamond, and a freely swinging ruby pendant hangs underneath. A fine collector-grade multi-gem mythological jewel from the turn of the 19th-20th century.
