Art Deco 1920s Sterling Silver Butterfly Wing Pendant & Chain, Hand-Painted

This rare Art Deco sterling silver pendant and chain set is a true collector’s treasure. Stamped Sterling Silver England with Patent No. 202213, it is an authentic example of early 20th-century butterfly wing jewelry. The pendant measures 0.75” wide × 1.25” high and features a luminous morpho butterfly wing background, overlaid with a hand-painted scenic image of sailboats before a domed architectural landmark, likely inspired by a European basilica. Each of these pendants was painted by hand, making every piece completely unique—no two are ever alike. The glowing iridescence of the butterfly wing shifts beautifully in the light, giving the painted scene depth and movement. This pendant is accompanied by its original Art Deco chain, also sterling silver, measuring 16 inches in total length, perfectly suited for wearing just below the collarbone. • Era: Art Deco, c.1920s • Origin: England (Patent 202213 – Shipton & Co., Birmingham, 1922) • Material: Sterling silver, butterfly wing, hand-painted under glass • Pendant Size: 0.75” × 1.25” • Chain Length: 16 inches, Art Deco era, sterling silver • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light wear appropriate to age ✨ Collectors prize butterfly wing jewelry for its artistry, rarity, and craftsmanship.
