Art Deco Silver Sarcophagus Charm with Gilt Mummy

A captivating Art Deco sarcophagus charm crafted in continental silver, housing a removable gilt mummy. This miniature piece reflects the Egyptian Revival fascination of the early 20th century, when motifs of ancient Egypt symbolised eternity, protection, and rebirth. The sliding sarcophagus form adds a playful yet scholarly touch, turning it into a tiny object of curiosity as much as adornment.

Marked ‘800’ for continental silver, faintly stamped to the interior, the charm retains crisp detail and a pleasing sense of movement. An unusual and highly collectable example of symbolic Art Deco jewellery.
