Vintage Damascene Filigree Pendant Necklace
Gold Tone Metal
Japan
This vintage necklace features a classic Damascene pendant, showcasing the traditional art of inlaying gold-toned metal onto a darkened, oxidized surface. The central square panel depicts a bird in flight amidst a bouquet of flowers, framed by an intricate openwork gold-tone filigree border. This style is a highly recognizable example of mid-century craftsmanship, blending traditional motifs with ornate setting techniques.
• Ornate filigree square frame with a lozenge-set central damascene panel
• Delicate gold-tone link chain with a secure spring ring clasp
• Clasp is hallmarked "JAPAN" on the ring
• Approximately 17-inch total chain length; pendant measures roughly 1.5 inches square
Condition: Good vintage condition. Visible wear to the gold-tone finish is present on the chain links and the reverse of the pendant, consistent with age and previous use. The Damascene artwork remains bright and well-detailed with no significant losses. The spring ring clasp has been tested and is functional.
