French Art Nouveau platinum owl lady pendant c.1900

This exquisite French pendant from the Art Nouveau period, circa 1900, is crafted in platinum and set with diamonds.

The design features a stylized female portrait, seamlessly blended with owl motifs in a highly artistic and imaginative composition. The woman’s headdress takes the form of an owl, while the background is rendered in delicate openwork that echoes the flowing curves of wings in flight. Light and ethereal, the pendant embodies the spirit of the Art Nouveau movement, with its organic forms, symbolic elements, and graceful lines.

Diamond accents add a touch of brilliance to the platinum framework, enhancing the elegance of the piece without overpowering its subtle whimsy. It’s a unique and creative work that showcases both technical finesse and poetic vision—hallmarks of early 20th-century French artistry.

The pendant is in good antique condition, with normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age. As condition assessments are subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to view more detailed aspects before making your evaluation.
