Elizabeth Bonté Moth Pendant
Item Description
French Art Nouveau carved gorn pendant necklace in the form of a stylised moth, signed on the back E. Bonté.
The beautifully carved elongated wings are in a translucent milky golden yellow colour which contrasts very effectively with the darker shade of the insect’s body and feelers.
The necklace cord is doubled at the lowest section and is separated along its length by colourful glass beads knotted in a series of threes.
Aproximately 7.5 cm long by 8.5 wide with the cord measuring 67 cm in length.
Mme. Elizabeth Bonté specialised in carved horn jewellery from her Paris workshop and this pendant would have been crafted during the early 1900’s.
