Product code: ES8641 Categories: Antique, Art Nouveau Jewellery, Necklace.$1,200.00
Displaying all the traits and style of the Art Nouveau era, this antique sterling silver Charles Horner necklace was made in 1911 and has such a feminine design to it that will suit any woman of any age.
Charles Horner became famous for producing not only Art Nouveau jewellery but also his Dorcas thimbles, and although dying in 1896 his company continued until 1984, and early pre-World War One pieces such as this are becoming so sought after.
Made in sterling silver, the beautiful Art Nouveau design looks so beautiful and is highlighted with orange paste that stand out so beautifully against the silver. This section measures 2.6cm across by 6cm from the bottom piece of paste to the top piece that is connected to the chain.
Laid out from end to end the chain measures 38.5cm and this is a perfect example of an antique piece that can be worn during the day or evening and always suit any occasion.
With a beautiful flowing design, this is such an attractive Art Nouveau necklace.

Description
Antique sterling silver Charles Horner necklace made in 1911
Charles Horner was an English jeweller who founded Charles Horner of Halifax and became famous for his Dorcas thimbles which were a combination of steel and silver, as well as his Art Nouveau enamel jewellery. Although passing away in 1896, the business was carried on by his two sons James Dobson Horner and Charles Henry Horner along with Charles William Leach, and the jewellery and thimbles made after 1896 are still called Charles Horner pieces. This particular Charles Horner necklace was made in sterling silver and set with vibrant orange paste in a design very typical of the Art Nouveau period.
