MURRLE BENNETT & Co c1910 signed Arts and Crafts 950 silver citrine necklace

  
A stunning and rare design of Murrle Bennett & Co... The Anglo / German collaboration which saw some of the most amazing Arts and Crafts / Art Nouveau pieces being produced. I have possessed a few of these wonderful necklaces over the years and each has been a joy to admire. This one is a rare design with matching spacers and is also beautifully clearly marked with the Murrle Bennett maker's mark and with "950" for the high grade of silver. The main part of the pendant is so gorgeous, being made of hammered silver with faux rivets, four above and four below the faceted citrine stone. Typically for Murrle Bennett, the stone is beautifully mounted in a millegrain gold setting.

I always love to find these pieces with other stones than turquoise, which seem to pop up more often. I love the two matching spacers in a triangular shape on each side which means that the single chain becomes a double chain on the section nearest the pendant-also very typical of Murrle Bennett.

This lovely necklace also has the original toggle catch and is in excellent order, both the silver work and the stone. I have seen the main pendant's design on a brooch once before, set with turquoise but i have to say this necklace is much, much more impressive. A beautiful thing indeed which will be sent by International Tracked and Signed from here in Italy. Box is for display purposes only.
