Elegant English Art Nouveau Silver & Enamel Necklace, c. 1910

The English goldsmiths of Charles Horner (1837-1896) and his sons were one of the largest and most innovative manufacturers of fine jewelry in Great Britain in the decades before and after 1900. Based in the town of Halifax in the English county of West Yorkshire, the manufactory first became famous in the late 19th century for a particularly durable, patented thimble for manual work. However, the company became famous for its jewelry designs with colorful enamel in the Art Nouveau style. This necklace made of silver and polychrome enamel also dates from this period. It features typical Art Nouveau shapes and the unmistakable signature of the company. This piece of jewelry is so special because it captures the taste of the early 20th century in England and conveys it to this day. It is the dawn of modernity that can be seen here - in a particularly British style. The necklace is a wonderful collector's item that can still be worn today without any problems. We discovered it in the south of England.
