Vintage Art Signed Gold Lion Head Door Knocker Round Lucite Gold Chain Necklace

Vintage Art Signed Gold Lion Head Door Knocker Round Lucite Gold Chain Necklace This necklace features a gold tone lion head with yellow rhinestone eyes set in a round piece of clear lucite. The pendant is strung on a hefty, textured gold tone chain. The back of the lion is signed “Art” for the vintage designer, Arthur Pepper. I believe this piece dates around the 1960’s-1970’s. This particular Arthur Pepper necklace is very rare and hard to find; there are only two others online as of when I’m posting this. The round pendant measures approximately 2 7/16” in diameter. Including the bail, the pendant hangs about 3” from the chain. The chain measures approximately 25” in length and 8mm in width/thickness. The lion head shows very minor gold plate fading in a few places, and the bail shows some surface wear. The lucite disc has scratching which is only visible at certain angles and lighting. The chain is in immaculate condition. Overall, this necklace appears to have hardly been worn at all! It’s in beautiful, stunning condition! Feel free to make me an offer :) FallVNA2023:15
