About the Item
Illustrated in our book:
Beatriz Chadour-Sampson
Sonya Newell-Smith, Tadema Gallery London Jewellery from the 1860s to 1960s, Arnoldsche Art Publishers, Stuttgart 2021, cat. no. 155
Signed verso: ‘JHMB’ artist’s monogram
An unsigned design drawing for this necklace is in the Artificers' Guild archive belonging to the Goldsmiths' Company. It differs slightly from the finished necklace but pencil annotations on the sketch show the addition of the rubies and confirm that the opals belonged to the client.
We feel this piece can easily hold its place alongside the other great Artificers’ Guild jewels by Edward Spencer, John Paul Cooper
Henry Wilson.
