Stunning Italian Sterling Necklace by F Peruzzi

From my research this is early 1900s, made in Italy. Pre Art Deco I would say, Art Nouveau period.

The detail on this is magical...the flower petals are intricately designed, use zoom to see them close up.

16 3/8 inch long chain with a center drop of 1 7/8 inch.

Excellent condition, strong and sturdy. I have not cleaned this so it retains its tarnish and patina.

Marked on back F Peruzzi Sterling, this is the earlier Florence mark and not the post 1930s Boston mark.

Quite the exquisite piece!
