1900s French Art Nouveau Daisy Fortune-Telling Spinning Top Pendant

This pendant hails from the Art Nouveau period in France, circa 1900s, crafted entirely from a brass alloy. In early cinematic scenes, you might recall lovers plucking petals from a flower, murmuring, "He loves me, he loves me not..." This petal-plucking divination, a game originating in Europe, was used to predict the outcome of a romance. This cleverly designed piece adds an extra layer of fun to this delightful pastime. The pendant is shaped like a hexagonal spinning top. At the top sits a daisy, commonly used for divination due to its numerous petals. The central question for divination is: IL M'AIME (He loves me). The other four sides display varying degrees of the prediction: UN PEU (A little), PAS DU TOUT (Not at all), BEAUCOUP (A lot), and PASSIONNEMENT (Passionately)! While destiny is in one's own hands, amidst the bittersweet complexities of relationships, people have always sought ways to clarify the nature of love, regardless of the era. Let this romantic yet poignant piece reveal whether he truly loves you! The item is in good condition, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age, as expected for a century-old antique rather than a brand-new item.
