Vintage Scottish Stag Horn Antler Graduated Oval Bead Necklace - Art Deco 1930s
This striking vintage necklace is crafted from Scottish stag horn, shaped into smooth graduated oval beads that reveal the natural beauty of horn — warm ivory, caramel, and deep brown tones blending organically. The piece is finished with a screw clasp made of the same material, a hallmark of early 20th‑century craftsmanship.
Based on its construction and clasp style, this necklace can be confidently placed in the Art Deco period, circa 1930s, when horn jewelry was prized for its earthy elegance and tactile appeal. Each bead is hand‑polished, showing subtle grain and natural variation that make every piece unique.
It is not signed, but its design and materials align with Scottish artisan work from the interwar years. The necklace is in very good vintage condition, with light surface wear consistent with age and use.
