About the Item

A rare and exquisite relic of European history, this 18th-century Silesian iron work cross necklace reflects both artistic mastery and meaning. Crafted from finely woven iron wire, the piece showcases the lace-like technique developed in Silesia in the late 1700s, during the rise of Berlin ironwork. The delicate cross pendant and matching chain were created at a time when gold was given up to support the Prussian resistance against Napoleon. These iron jewels were worn as symbols of sacrifice, resilience, and national pride. With its austere beauty and powerful provenance, this necklace is a wearable artifact of devotion, craftsmanship, and European heritage. Remarks: The material is oxidised and shows signs of wear. Material: Iron Measurements: Length:25;Pendant Length:6;Pendant Width:4
