Tiny Art Deco Silver Sarcophagus Charm with Gilt Interior
Egyptian Revival design became especially popular during the Art Deco period, when motifs inspired by ancient Egypt appeared widely in jewellery and decorative objects. Sarcophagus charms captured the era’s fascination with antiquity, symbolising eternity and the mysteries of the ancient world. This tiny example features a gilt interior, originally intended to house a miniature mummy figure. The mummy is now missing, though the piece remains a charming and characterful example of Art Deco novelty jewellery.
