This charming, French Art Nouveau, four leaf clover clip carries a rather worn hallmark, However it tests to 800-900 silver quality. I am dating it to circa 1895-1900.

The general purpose of this clip was to define and hold together long, chains or fine ropes of pearls. However it could also be used on a ribbon for a choker.

The clip measures 5/8” (1.7cms) across. It weighs 1.3 grams.

This pretty four leaf clover is delicately engraved and slightly overlaps the ring around it. There are tiny berries at its base.

On the reverse is a double clip which functions as it should.

This charming clip is in excellent antique condition. The four leaf clover, always a symbol of luck, will come to you carefully wrapped in tissue in a gift box.
