Antique European Filigree Drop Earrings – Early 20th Century
$ 120.92
Description
Beautiful antique filigree drop earrings dating to the late Victorian / Edwardian era (circa 1890–1915). These earrings feature intricate handmade wire filigree, granulation, and pierced openwork typical of European silversmith craftsmanship, likely Portuguese or Southern European in origin. The earrings retain a warm antique patina with evidence of a gold wash over silver (vermeil). A small maker’s punch (vertical bar) is present on the reverse, consistent with early 20th-century regional workshop production. Originally made for unpierced ears, they feature clip backs common to the period (or added early in their life). They are lightweight, elegant, and move beautifully when worn. ⸻ Details • Era: Late Victorian / Edwardian, c. 1890–1915 • Material: Likely silver with gold wash (not acid tested) • Style: European filigree, antique drop earrings • Closure: Clip-on • Length: Approx. 2.75–3 inches • Condition: Very good antique condition; age-appropriate wear and patina.
