CHICKS Hatching ART NOUVEAU French Solid Silver Rattle Ornament Pendant Birds

Description

I am selling an assortment of antique chatelaine and jewelry items so please see my other offerings and check back often : )
ABOUT:
Art Nouveau antique French solid silver rattle with little chicks in the grass, one stepping out from a cracked egg, it is decorated in this manner on both sides.  Unique teardrop oval shape. Fun and whimsical pattern!
No Monograms.
Would be a pretty ornament or could even be worn on a chain as a pendant, or attached to a chatelaine set. Antique piece that I acquired in France from the Belle Epoque period.
The piece measures about 1 3/4 by 1 3/4.
MARKS:
Marked with the boar's head mark on the bottom of the loop for French solid silver items.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are in estate condition.  There is an impression to the crease at the bottom so you can see that dent from one side.  There is space on the loop where it was removed from the handle so once added to a chain or set, that could be pressed closed.  Some surface wear and scratching throughout on the silver.
Some stubborn tarnish and spots.
Please note this piece is not in mint condition.  Still very nicely shaped considering age.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me.  Thanks for stopping by!
