    The Amsterdam origin and date, together with the flowing organic lines, radial fan-like structure, enamel, and gemstones, support a cautious Art Nouveau reading; the catalog itself lists no style.

  • Curvilinear Forms Visual · 94%

    The pendant uses flowing arcs, scalloped edges, and curling linear elements rather than a strictly rectilinear structure.
