Rare Antique Art Deco Bohemian Czech Ballotini Beads Necklace Lacquer Floral

Beautiful Antique Vintage Art Deco Bohemian Czech Ballotini Beads Black Lacquered Floral Flowers Necklace. Perfect For a Collector, or for ANY Special Occasion! An extremely rare and beautiful antique Art Deco Bohemian Czech Ballotini beads necklace. The beads are so pretty – they are a glossy black lacquer with textured flowers made up of tiny ballotini beads. Hey look fabulous under artificial light, with a luminous iridescent effect when the light catches them in a certain way (please see penultimate photo with flash). There are lacy bead caps at the front. The necklace has just been professionally re-threaded, because it was on the original cat gut thread which was kinked and didn’t hang nicely (please see last photo of how it was originally). I think you will agree, it is much better now and is just begging to be shown off! Inevitably with these beads, there is some surface wear, but nothing which detracts in any way from its immense charm. The necklace fastens with the original screw barrel clasp. It is a short necklace, so please measure your neck to ensure that it will fit. Ballotini beads were made from wood, with miniscule glass balls affixed to the surface – almost like flocking. They were made in Gablonz, in the old kingdom of Bohemia. Because they are relativly fragile, not many have survived and they are very rare and highly sought after now. Everything (apart from the thread) is ALL ORIGINAL. Measures approximately: 15.75. In Very Good Antique Condition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
