Antique Revival Demi Parure, ca 1875
Our Notes
Interpreting the present by examining the past was the driving force of 19th century Classical Revivalism. There were many archaeological discoveries, including Etruscan and Roman, that piqued people’s interest in Classical history, travel, and learning.
This suite’s design elements are derived from archaeological motifs that were popularly used in decorative arts throughout the second half of the 19th century. The cascading acanthus leaves and the bold, geometric dangles are a variant of the delicate fringe earrings that were also popular.
The earrings currently have screw back fittings, which are really flattering and comfortable, but they can be swapped for a post or wire if desired. Once you wear this set, you will want to wear it with everything!
