{"product_id":"aygul-turkey-vintage-sterling-silver-etched-panel-chain-necklace-choker","title":"Aygul Turkey Vintage Sterling Silver Etched Panel Chain Necklace Choker","description":"\u003cp\u003eA romantic, story-telling necklace in the Turkish silver tradition, this vintage sterling choker bears an Aygul-style maker's tag and centers on a beautifully detailed pictorial panel. The focal plaque is a large oval medallion worked in deep relief, depicting a spirited equestrian hunting scene: a mounted rider gallops on a rearing horse, lance or whip raised, pursuing a fleeing hound or hare across a rolling landscape, with the suggestion of a windmill or tower in the background. The composition is set against a richly stippled ground that throws the figures into crisp dimensional contrast, and the whole oval is bordered by a garland of blossoming flowers. Flanking the center are two shaped side panels, each repoussé-stamped with floral and leaf sprays in the same antiqued style, and these connect to the medallion by short curved bar links. The necklace continues with a substantial, handmade-look figaro-style chain of elongated and round links, finished with an S-hook clasp. The sterling has been intentionally oxidized to a dark antique-silver finish, the recesses near-black while the raised details are burnished to a soft pewter shine, a treatment that emphasizes the antique, almost medieval character and is typical of fine Anatolian silverwork. Worn short at choker to mid-collar length, the panels sit gracefully across the collarbone. Condition is very good vintage: the relief is sharp and well preserved, the links and clasp are intact and functional, and the patina is even with only minor surface wear. This will appeal to collectors of Turkish and Ottoman-style silver, lovers of figural hunting and equestrian motifs, and anyone seeking a bold, antique-look statement choker with old-world narrative charm. A distinctive, conversation-worthy piece blending fine relief craftsmanship with rich historical romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Silverware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55225620300067,"sku":"aygul-turkey-vintage-sterling-silver-etched-panel-chain-necklace-choker","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/aygul-turkey-vintage-sterling-silver-etched-panel-chain-necklace-choker_01.jpg?v=1781300699","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/aygul-turkey-vintage-sterling-silver-etched-panel-chain-necklace-choker","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
