It's a masterclass in openwork and chased detailing - mainly abstract shapes but I'm definitely seeing snakes and stars - and remains in excellent condition given the age
and likely won’t ever see another quite like it
Very good with gorgeous antique patina
with openworked gallery and pinched shoulders
Art Deco Tiger's Eye Book Compass Pendant jade It's a masterclass in openworkDATE: Art Deco, c. 1920 An unusual antique compass pendant dating from the Art Deco era, circa 1920. It's carved from a single piece of tiger's eye, formed in the shape of a book, and set in the middle with a (working!) miniature compass. The shimmery, lustrous appearance displayed by tiger's eye is known as chatoyance (from the French for cat's eye), caused by light reflecting off parallel amphibole fibres that intergrew with the quartz.
