Art Deco Silver & Enamel Sarcophagus Charm
This striking Art Deco piece takes the form of a sarcophagus, reflecting the strong Egyptian Revival influence that swept through design during the 1920s and 1930s. Following major archaeological discoveries in Egypt, motifs inspired by ancient tombs, pharaohs, and sacred symbolism became highly fashionable, representing eternity, protection, and mystery. Originally crafted as a miniature propelling pencil, the mechanism is now broken, and the piece is preserved as a distinctive charm, allowing the sculptural sarcophagus form and enamel detailing to be appreciated as an unusual example of continental silver design.
