A rare and exquisitely crafted Art Nouveau silver pendant with plique-à-jour enamel and an integrated hinged mirror. The design showcases a repoussé bust of a woman with flowing hair adorned with pearls, framed by an iris bloom and enamel panels in vibrant violet, blue, and green tones. The plique-à-jour technique creates a stained-glass effect, glowing with luminous transparency when light passes through.
