A French Silver Pendant and Chain in a Ottoman Style Circa 1880

19th century
Description

FREE UK MAINLAND DELIVERY.

A most interesting French silver pendant and chain, clearly marked with the crab stamp, which indicates French provincial silver with a purity of .800 or above.

This stylish piece of jewellery was most likely made for the French Moroccan market, which strongly influences its style.

This decorative piece is made to a design of an ancient penannular brooch and could be worn this way if removed from the chain.

It is a beautiful handmade piece of jewellery with an intricate construction of filigree type wire work with hand tooled decoration, brightly set with cabochons of red coral and turquoise.

This most eye catching collector's piece comes with a lovely period hinged case with a faux snake skin covering and a press button catch.

This lovely chain and pendant are in excellent original condition with no damage or restoration.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

During the late nineteenth century, European jewellers, particularly in France, adopted decorative motifs from the Ottoman Empire, incorporating crescent shapes, intricate filigree, and colourful cabochons into fashionable Western silverwork.

These pieces were typically constructed from sterling or high-grade silver, featuring hand-worked filigree, wirework, and granulation adorned with coral, turquoise, or glass cabochons.

Authentic French silver pieces from this era feature standard French silver hallmarks, such as the boars head or crab mark, alongside hand-applied wirework and construction methods consistent with late Victorian period techniques.

A statement silver pendant can be layered over high-neck knitwear, paired with tailored suiting for modern contrast, or worn alongside minimalist garments to highlight the intricate filigree work.

Clean gently using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove dust from delicate filigree crevices, avoiding harsh chemical dips or submerging porous cabochons like turquoise and coral.
