Unique gilded lily! This is one of my favorites! Very unusual looking. It is comprised of gold gilt over brass. As is common with these older gold gilt over brass pieces, the gold has worn off in a few places allowing the aged brass beneath it to show through. The detail on the calyx lobe of the flower is lovely and the stem bends so very gracefully. The center of the flower is a prong set faceted piece of amethyst glass. The snake style chain is very vinelike. It is in excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or flea bites to the glass. No dents, dings or damage to the metal parts. The spring ring clasp is in excellent working order. As I mentioned previously, the gold gilt has worn off in some spots which is most noticable on the petals. It is a beauty and has aged well.(Item #10018)
