Signed Napier Victorian Revival Heraldic Medallion Necklace – Double Chain Statement Pendant

This extraordinary signed Napier statement necklace captures the essence of vintage couture glamour. The centerpiece features a magnificent heraldic medallion depicting a rearing unicorn in the classic rampant pose — a symbol historically associated with nobility, power, and European royal crests. Ornate scrollwork, ribbon motifs, and sculptural Baroque detailing surround the mythical figure, creating an elaborate dimensional design that feels both regal and old-world.

Suspended from the original double-link chain, the necklace delivers exceptional presence and architectural luxury. The chain measures 16 inches and sits beautifully at the collarbone, while the medallion spans a bold 2.5 inches in diameter. The pendant is deeply cast and perfectly finished, stamped clearly on the back with the coveted NAPIER © hallmark used during their mid-century couture era.

This is a collector-grade Napier masterpiece with true gallery-worthy impact.
