Outstanding Turquoise and Pearl Necklace of the Louis Philippe Period circa 1830–1835
Jewels of the Louis Philippe period (1830-1848) are sometimes considered the first “modern” jewels of the 19th century, as this era doesn’t have a larger thesis of revival akin the aesthetics explored under previous French reigns. Under Napoleon, the ancient world is revisited, under Charles X and Louis XVIII, we see a return to the rococo. But objects like this daringly “orientalist” turquoise and pearl necklace speak to an aesthetic of jewelry that wast truly its own at this moment in time.
An outstanding turquoise and pearl piece that is just as modern now as it was in 1840.
