Description

"Part of the essence of the Baroque, which flourished in the 17th century, is the swelling movement of all forms, which powerfully and vividly strive to merge into one another. The Baroque scrollwork lends the jewellery a special plasticity and lively power." (From a catalog of the company Blachian Antik-Schmuck of the 1950s). This magnificent pendant, created in the mid-20th century, features large sculptural elements that wonderfully illustrate the principle of the "swelling forms" described above. C-sweeps of acanthus leaves frame a large amethyst. Two shimmering pearl shells accompany the gemstone at the top and bottom. The amethyst most likely originates from Brazil and has a pale purple color. According to the hallmark, the pendant was made in Vienna and is typical alpine costume jewelry. It is beautifully preserved and can be worn immediately on its original chain.
