An 18th century Salmon coral necklace — over 200 years old — is a genuinely rare thing, and this piece carries that age with remarkable grace. The beads graduate from 6.5 × 6 mm at the tips to a magnificent 19 × 15.5 mm at the centre, those extraordinary large central beads glowing with the soft, rosy warmth of genuine, undyed Salmon coral in a size that 18th century craftsmen could achieve precisely because they had access to raw coral of a quality and scale that is simply no longer available. At 83.9 grams and 640 mm, this is a necklace of real presence, finished with an 18 karat gold clasp that speaks to the original owner’s taste and means. The minor chips present are the honest marks of two centuries of existence — not flaws, but proof. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
