Hair Ornament. 1.6*1.3cm Wt:4.05g ? Classic Nymph motif, one of the most iconic feminine mythological themes of the Art Nouveau movement, symbolising nature, softness and dreamlike beauty. Crafted in 18K gold, the piece features three?dimensional relief work with sinuous, flowing lines. Red translucent enamel accents adorn the ears, glowing warmly like glass when light passes through, exemplifying the finest enamel craftsmanship of the era. The maker's signature mark ??L. JANVIER?? is visible along the front edge. L. Janvier was a leading French Art Nouveau goldsmith; signed works by him are scarce and carry great collectible value.
