Long necklace attributed to the Neiger Brothers, crafted from molded Bohemian / Czech glass beads and dating to the 1920s Egyptian Revival period.
The scarab is central to the design. An important symbol in Ancient Egyptian culture, particularly associated with renewal and the solar cycle, it became one of the most recognizable motifs of the Egyptian Revival jewelry.
Norbert and Max Neiger were among the most distinctive makers associated with Czechoslovak costume jewelry of the early 20th century.
Their business developed in Gablonz, now Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Republic, an important historic center of Bohemian glass and jewelry production.
Following the First World War, their workshop became particularly renowned for elaborate jewelry incorporating richly colored Bohemian molded glass and exotic decorative influences drawn from Ancient Egypt as well as Chinese and Indian art.
