Coppini Antique Italian Renaissance Revival 800 Silver Medallion Necklace 1750

An exquisite piece of wearable art, this antique Italian Renaissance Revival necklace captures the romanticism and intricate metalwork of late 19th to early 20th-century Florence. Strongly attributed to the master silversmiths of Fratelli Coppini, this highly collectible, unsigned statement piece showcases a marvelous blend of Classical mythology and early Egyptian Revival design elements. Handcrafted in 800 silver, the necklace features a deep, natural patina that beautifully accentuates its three-dimensional relief details. The central focal point is a heavily ornamented, openwork oval medallion depicting a winged cherub aiming his bow and arrow nestled within a dense arrangement of Baroque scrolls, stylized acanthus leaves, and flanking floral rosettes. Suspended from the bottom are three distinct charms that add fluid movement to the piece. A detailed, repousse lion head mask representing strength and Florentine heritage. Twin Egyptian pharaohhead dangles, reflecting the popular "Egyptomania" design influences of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The central medallion is integrated into a decorative panel chain. The chain consists of geometric open links interspersed with repeating floral-stamped panels, characteristic of high-end Italian filigree and cast work. 800 Fine Silver Antique (1890–1920) Excellen condition with rich oxidation that emphasizes the fine lines of the casting. All components, jump rings, and dangles remain original and secure. 18” length
