Antique French Sterling Silver Rose Gold Niello Watch Chain Sautoir Necklace-58

Antique French Sterling Silver Rose Gold Niello Watch Chain Sautoir Necklace. Niello is the art of ornamenting metal surfaces that is thought to have originated with the Egyptians and spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. It is an enamel-like substance made of alloys of sulphur, copper, silver and lead and used as an inlay on engraved metal.

This attractive chain from the Victorian (ca1880) era is a wonderful example of the Niello craft!

However, as most of my items are 100 years old, they will often bear the traces of a previous life. Terms: All items are genuine and original.
