Antique Czech Intaglio Glass Pendant Necklace – Etched Beveled Glass & Brass (c.1920s–1930s)

A breathtaking example of Art Deco-era Czech craftsmanship, this antique pendant necklace features a large octagonal reverse-carved intaglio glass pendant, beautifully etched with an ornate floral scroll motif. The beveled edges and open-back brass frame allow light to pass through the glass, illuminating the fine detailing of the carving with soft clarity and dimension.

A single faceted glass bead serves as the connector, adding a subtle touch of sparkle and preserving the necklace’s original Deco charm. The pendant is finished on a delicate brass chain that complements the period design with timeless elegance.

Marked Czechoslovakia on the setting, this piece embodies the refined artistry of early 20th-century Czech jewelry—highly collectible, beautifully preserved, and perfect for lovers of Deco-era elegance and historical craftsmanship.
