Art Deco Sautoir Necklace Beaded Bird Amethyst Flapper Antique French 1920s

Description

SPECTACULAR piece from the 1920s- a glass seed beaded sautoir style flapper necklace and based on a similar one available this is a French piece. Smokey grey and amethyst colored beads make up the bulk of the necklace with some bright magenta pink and clear as well.
The bottom of the pendant is looped beading of which one is missing a portion of its beads, and 5 strands of beads connected every few inches by a horizontal bead band make up the necklace itself. There’s one small area on the back of the neck that it’s down to 4 strands and I assume at one point in this necklaces past a repair was made removing a strand from that small section. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
Purple beads make up the bird in a bold but bit aggressive design.
Overall this necklace is in exceptional condition considering it’s age. The beads are quite small- in one photo you can see a few sesame seeds I placed near it. It’s really quite a work of art.
