Vintage Napier Gold‑Plated Braided Foxtail Chain Necklace – 1995 Legacy Collection - Signed
This vintage 1995 Napier Legacy Collection necklace is a beautifully crafted example of Napier’s late‑modern design era. The braided foxtail chain is gold‑plated with a smooth, fluid drape and a subtle woven shimmer that catches the light elegantly. It closes with a lobster clasp connecting to the signed Napier oval hangtag, a hallmark of the brand’s mid‑1990s craftsmanship.
A necklace and bracelet from the same Legacy Collection are featured in Melinda Lewis’s The Napier Co. (page 700), underscoring the importance of this design within Napier’s catalog. The Legacy line emphasized elevated materials, fluid movement, and timeless silhouettes — making this piece a collectible example of Napier’s modern‑classic aesthetic.
Excellent vintage condition. Bright gold plating, clean finish, secure clasp, no visible wear.
