This is a fantastic and collectible piece of antique jewellery by the renowned British firm, Charles Horner. The pendant and chain are crafted from sterling silver, and the pendant features an eye-catching Art Nouveau design in the form of a stylised bat.
The bat's wings are beautifully detailed with enamel work, featuring a striking combination of greens and blues in a segmented or "panelled" pattern. This use of rich, vibrant colours and flowing, natural forms is a signature of Charles Horner's work, which is highly sought after by collectors. The design of a bat or moth was a popular motif during the Art Nouveau period, representing the natural world.
This piece is a true testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the early 20th century. The pendant while original from 1909 hangs from a modern period-appropriate chain, completing the look. Charles Horner's jewellery, particularly his enamelled pieces, are very desirable and would be a standout addition to any collection of antique or vintage jewellery.
The chain is included with this pendant and is 18 inches long.
