Description

A stunning French Art Nouveau chimera brooch, beautifully crafted in 18K gold and rich in the imagination and artistry of the period.

This extraordinary mythical creature is rendered with remarkable attention to detail, from the finely sculpted feathers to the intricate relief work that brings the chimera to life. It holds an old mine-cut diamond of approximately 0.25 carats in his mouth.

Surrounding the chimera, delicate leaves crafted in green gold provide a beautiful contrast to the warm gold tones — a distinctive characteristic of Art Nouveau jewelry and its celebration of nature.

Large in scale and full of personality, this exceptional brooch is a true statement piece, perfect for collectors of antique jewelry and admirers of the extraordinary craftsmanship and fantastical imagery of the French Art Nouveau movement.

Measurements and condition

In overall good antique condition. Slight traces of use and scratches on the gold surface.

French eagle’s head hallmarks for 18K gold (on the c-catch on the back).

Another phenomenal purchase from one of my favorite sellers

Another phenomenal purchase from one of my favorite sellers. Jade has flawless taste. Her finds always exceed my (very high) expectations, and she's a genuinely sweet human and a delight to work with.

French Vintage 18K gold “Toi & Moi” (You and Me) love ring

Though it's a vintage ring, its flame-like engraving is something truly uncommon.
I look forward to growing older side by side with it.

I received this very well-kept vintage snowflake ring from Jade. It looks better and more sparkly in person than even the photos and it's exactly what I was hoping for. Jade has been very helpful with my questions and coordinating shipping again. Would love to purchase from Curiously Timeless again.

Truly exceptional

This necklace is beyond beautiful, and I'm thrilled to have it in my collection. I had been looking for a French watch chain, but there were some criteria that were very important: had to have large oval filigree links with at least 1 inch spacing between each large link and it needed to be between 20-22 inches in length. When I saw this necklace, I knew it was the one! Jade was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated on shipping and wrapped this special treasure with such care and attention, even including a thoughtful gift. Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience. I've already recommended this shop to friends and family and will certainly be back.

Exellent seller, happy to recommend! The entire process of ordering, shipping was really easy. And the packaging was lovely with a gift inside which was appreciated.
And what to say about the edwardian diamond pendant I ordered: absolutely AMAZING! Exactly as described but also in reality even better how it sparkles! I was so happy upon receiving it at my workplace address that I wanted to wear it right away but as I didnt have a chain to put it on, I improvised and put it ot the lovely blue packaging ribbon! I have been wearing it like this every day and received a lot of compliments from friends and coworkers.
I couldnt be happier! Thank you Jade!
