Toutes les enchères / Argenterie & Orfèvrerie / Antique Sautoir Made of Natural Pearls & Topazes of the Belle Époque, ca. 1905
The fashion of the years around 1900 loved pastel colours not only in the wardrobe. Coloured stones in delicate shades such as amethysts, topazes and peridots were also more in demand than ever and enriched the appearance of ladies. Pearl necklaces also went well with this delight in restrained hues, preferably in the form of long, elegantly moving sautoirs or short colliers-de-chien worn close to the neck. Here is such a typical natural pearl sautoir of the years shortly after 1900, rich in its decoration and perfect in its preservation. Approximately 1500 natural pearls, so-called oriental pearls, are gathered into three short strands each and connect twenty gold-framed faceted precious topazes in a delicate rose tone with a weight of about 31 carats. The result is a necklace about 1.10 meters long, which can be worn loosely, single or double wrapped, but can also be knotted in front of the chest. We enclose a photograph of Queen Alexandra, taken in 1901, wearing a long, richly decorated pearl necklace whose strands are held together at regular intervals by round gemstone elements. Although our piece of jewellery is much more delicately designed, it is comparable in its design and gives an indication that this sautoir was also made in the years shortly after 1900. By the way, wonderful topazes of the same hue as here in our piece of jewellery can actually also be found in a royal jewellery box: As a reminder of her mother's South American homeland (her father, as is well known, came from Heidelberg), Queen Silvia of Sweden particularly likes to wear a parure with Brazilian precious topazes that once belonged to the French Empress Joséphine. We were immediately enchanted by the elegant sautoir with its delicate beauty. In addition, we have had a detailed certificate made for the piece of jewellery, which confirms the quality of the natural saltwater pearls used here and that of the precious topazes. It is also delivered in the box shown here.
