Max Neiger / Neiger Brothers Art Deco Czech glass 1920’s necklace pendant. Opaque orange glass pendant with pressed Egyptian themed motifs.

Ready and waiting for your neckline, wardrobe, collection or gift giving – you will love this! True antique / vintage. Piece – 1920’s. As with the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in November of 1922, their creations very much reflected their shift in interest towards the wildly popular Egyptian (and other complimentary exotic ethnic) themed motifs. None that I could find – which is typical for their jewelry. Art glass pendant with gold toned bail and jump ring. C LASP / CLOSURE : x. Aprox 2 1/8″ long (including bail and loop) x 1 3/4″ wide. HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE. Neiger Brothers jewelry is well known and beloved for incorporating beautiful Czech art glass beads, large (mostly) figural focal beads and pendant drops, and detailed metal caps & findings. Max and Norbert Neiger were Czechoslovakian brothers who made pieces with mainly glass components in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia – circa 1905 to the 1930s. They were Czech citizens, as were their ancestors, but they also had German Nationality. Style wise – the Neiger brothers took full advantage of the Egyptian Revival craze, beginning with the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922. As well they should have, like so many of the art deco jewelry designers did at that time. They continued to add more “exotic” ethnic lines, including with Chinese and Indian motifs. They produced hypnotizing brooches, beautiful beaded necklaces and fascinating bracelets, all eye-catching and of the highest quality. Today smart collectors are giving Max and Norbert’s creations a well-deserved renaissance. Their hard to find, hand made, original wares are scarce (especially in nice condition) due to the small number of pieces made and limited production time as they experienced a tragic end…… As the Germans advanced near Gablonz in 1939, the two Jewish brothers left their factory and escaped to Bohemia. They continued to create jewelry in a scaled-down operation for just a few years. They were unfortunately arrested in Prague in 1942 and passed at Auschwitz. I have included a photo of Max in the photo line up – it is the image from his 1924 driver’s license. JUST FOR FUN – AI DESCRIPTION – (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE).

There is a small (less than 1/4 long) chip out of the bottom edge that can be seen ever so slightly from the decorative sides – maybe a little more from one side that the other. It may be possible to sand, smooth, fill, or glass repair the area if you felt the need. In an excellent state of preservation. INVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE. A picture is worth a thousand words.
