This French Art Nouveau necklace dates to 1900 and originates from the workshop of Henry Miault. The piece consists of a slender silver link chain interspersed with a clasp and three pendant drops, each formed as a detailed crab holding an iridescent white river pearl. The metal possesses a polished silver finish with dark antiquing accentuating the textured carapace details of the crustaceans. Visible elements include a spring-ring clasp at the back of the chain, small jump rings suspending each crab pendant, and distinct maker stamps located on the reverse of the crab motifs. Measuring 39 cm in total length with a 2 cm drop, the necklace functions as a wearable piece of period jewellery suitable for formal wear or as part of a curated antique collection displayed on a bust or vanity tray in a bedroom or dressing room.

FAQs

Art Nouveau jewellery, popular between roughly 1890 and 1910, is characterised by organic forms, sinuous lines, and motifs drawn from nature, such as flora, fauna, and insect life, prioritising artistic craftsmanship over gemstone size.

Artisan jewellers of the period frequently worked with silver, cast or hammered metals, plique-a-jour enamelling, and irregular natural elements such as river pearls, mother-of-pearl, and semi-precious gemstones.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks or hallmarking consistent with turn-of-the-century production, asymmetric organic hand-chased metalwork, and evidence of period construction techniques like hand-cut chain links.

Statement period pieces function well alongside minimal, neutral contemporary garments, allowing the intricate detail and natural patina of the silver to remain the primary visual focal point.

Clean silver components gently with a soft microfibre cloth without submerging the pearls in chemical solutions or water, as organic pearls are sensitive to moisture, cosmetics, and harsh abrasives.
