An exquisite Antique Art Nouveau silver medallion pendant dating from the Belle Époque era (circa 1900–1910). This beautiful piece features a classic, highly detailed right-facing relief profile of a young woman. Her hair is elegantly styled with a flowing strand cascading over her shoulder and adorned with a detailed crown of field flowers, perfectly capturing the naturalistic, organic aesthetics of the Art Nouveau movement. Likely representing Flora, the goddess of spring and flowers, or Speranza (Hope).
The reverse side features a wonderfully preserved, hand-engraved inscription in elegant German cursive script: “Aus Liebe! Dein Franz.” (Translated: “With love! Your Franz.”), making this a deeply personal and romantic historical keepsake.
