French Serpent Drop Earrings
Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.
These elegant earrings are inspired by two spectacular French vases (1789) at The Met. Produced by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory at Sèvres (French, 1740–present) on the eve of the French Revolution in 1789, the Museum's splendid pair—small in scale but imposing in their opulence—perfectly suited the intimate albeit extravagant interiors that were fashionable in late 18th-century France. Both vases are painted with so-called arabesque ornamentation, which favored floral and faunal motifs. The graceful snakes that form the handles beautifully complement these elegant triumphs of decorative art.
