Vintage Neiger 1920s Czech Egyptian Revival Necklace

SOLD

This beautiful 1920s Czech Egyptian Revival beaded flapper necklace is stunning in bright orange and white. The necklace has been re hand knotted in the original pattern, so it is now safe to wear . There are various shaped beads including square  beads with faces on and a centre Egyptian Head with the original gold paint that gives the definition to the face and hair.   The centre panel  has some creases in the back of the glass, which is not an uncommon characteristic and is produced when the glass was moulded.  This is a very long necklace so fits easily over the head and comes down to about waist level.

Those of you who collect or know Egyptian Revival jewellery will appreciate the Egyptian Revival design and the presence of the square faced beads.  I have collected these style of beaded necklaces for many years but haven’t come across many in this colour combination.  The thread was inevitably found in a distressed state of repair but I have had this professionally hand knotted.

Egyptian Revival is one of my long time favourite designs, the Czechs were very prolific manufacturers, with many ranges and styles of jewellery producing necklaces, brooches, earrings and bracelets.  The designs and quality of manufacture are why they have become very collected and sort after.
