Hey guys,
I just picked this up at a auction. The auctioneer said that it was a Victorian neck piece from the late 1800’s. Can anyone help me identify it and does anyone know the value? Thanks!
The two parts don’t seem to go together but I have no idea what they originally were. The top part would be more like Art Nouveau ie 1910 - 1920 due to the Fleur de Lis shape. The bottom section, with 3 ladies ?, it has four drill holes so that’s unusual. It looks as if the 3 ladies section has been attached to the plaque part with the four holes That piece might be hallmarked underneath?
But I can’t see any hallmarks on the pieces? Silver should be hallmarked - if old English type it will definitely have a series of marks from which you can date the piece. Without such marks it’s anyone’s guess as to the real age.
Value, if base metal, ie silver plate / nickel with no marks indicating real age or maker, a few dollars I’d guess. If sterling silver, around $50 - $75 the two pieces.
