Art Nouveau Pendant, JOÃO CARLOS DE ARAÚJO In gold (800/000). Chain of rectangular links, filigree pendant enameled in blue, red and green, and set with two old brilliant-cut diamonds with an approximate total weight of 0.15ct. Gondomar hallmark in use from 1900 to 1913 and illegible goldsmith's mark. With its original case lined in silk and velvet, marked with the trade label of Ourivesaria de João Carlos de Araújo, Lisboa (Rua Áurea, 261). (minimal signs of wear) Comm.: 48cm (chain); H.: 4cm (pendant) 6.7 g This jewel is particularly interesting once it is possible to date its creation between 1900 and 1913. Consequently, the modernity of its design is evident in an Art Nouveau aesthetic already bearing a geometric flavour, heralding Art Deco. Additionally, there is a typically Portuguese character in the construction of the filigree pendant, certainly by the hands of masters from Gondomar. The Ourivesaria de João Carlos de Araújo was one of the most interesting in downtown Lisbon. It was founded in 1878 but, from the few pieces known today, it is possible to appreciate aesthetic refinement and the fine quality of its works.
