Antique Art Deco Egyptian Revival Carved Celluloid, Pressed Glass, Horn, Rudraksha
Prayer Beads Hediao Nut Beads Necklace. Rare Unusual Unique Collector. Neiger Interest.
Circa 1920's or earlier
A Really UNUSUAL and Very RARE Piece!
Antique Art Deco Egyptian Revival carved celluloid, pressed glass, horn and
beads chunky necklace. The two long beads at the front are made from
celluloid, carved in an Egyptian design. There is crackling on the
surface of these beads commensurate with age. The central bead is made
from carved horn. There are three
on either side and then the rectangular beads are again made from
celluloid and carved with an Egyptian design. The beige patterned beads
closer to the clasp are made from poured glass and remind me very much of the
Neiger Brothers beads.
The necklace fastens with a screw
barrel clasp, but may be long enough to go over the head without undoing
the clasp (depending on head size). It is threaded on the original cat
gut thread, which still seems strong.
There have been many
Egyptian Revivals, but probably the most notable was in the 1920's when
King Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. This
generated an enormous amount of interest and the world went crazy for
all things with an ancient Egyptian theme.
