Catalogue Note
With the signature of Marcus & Co. on this necklace, a post-quem date of 1892 can be assigned, as that is when the firm changed its name from Jacques & Marcus. This design could have been made for the Paris Exhibition of 1900; when many of Marcus & Co's designs were lauded with praise.
