A magnificent antique Baltic egg yolk amber rosary, handcarved during the 19th century with great devotion and artistry. This outstanding collection piece features beautifully uniform beads in the most prized egg yolk colouration — a deep, warm, opaque golden tone that glows with a natural inner light. All beads are a consistent 9x9mm, with a striking elongated imam bead of 35x9mm that commands attention and gives this rosary a bold and distinguished character. At 48 cm in length and 44.7 grams, this is a substantial and beautifully balanced piece. The imam bead has a small chip, which is entirely normal for antique amber of this age and only adds to its authentic antique character. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
