1880s French 800 Silver Lace Necklace

This 800 silver necklace from 1880s France boasts an unforgettable, distinctive design. Its elongated links are composed of three distinct elements: the upper section features a structured, linear arrangement, flowing into star-shaped motifs, and culminating in a soft, bud-like form at the bottom. The intricate lines and the length that gracefully graces the neck create a visual effect reminiscent of a lace collar, presenting a piece that is both magnificent and subtly elegant. The puffed design is single-sided, not a fully three-dimensional structure. The necklace fastens with a round loop and a U-shaped hook at the end, meaning the length is not adjustable and it is not a closed clasp. The necklace bears the French boar's head hallmark, indicating it is crafted from 800/1000 purity silver, hallmarked prior to 1962. The overall condition is good, with only normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age.
