Art Nouveau French Silver Powderbox Pendant, Antique French Prudent QUITTE Locket c. 1890 niello_watch_chain Featuring two prong set centralThis lovely Iris powder box pendant bears the hallmark of renowned Parisian silversmith Prudent QUITTE, known for the production of Art Nouveau silver jewelry and cutlery. While the shop was first registered in 1882, this beauty was likely crafted around 1890. Irises were a popular Art Nouveau motif, using flowing natural forms and the beauty inherent around us. The back is similarly decorated with a floral repousse work, so the locket is beautiful
