VINTAGE VENETIAN ART DECO MATCHED CANE MILLEFIORI GLASS BEAD KNOTTED NECKLACE 32 INCHES LONG Matched mosaic black, white and red beads A most attractive vintage millefiori glass bead necklace in a matched design with round beads, each one with a pretty metal flower bead cap and individually knotted. The necklace is quite long, measuring 32 inches (82cm) approximately, falling between matinee and opera length. As it has a fastener it can be worn doubled, as shown on my necklace stand. The beads in the necklace are in good vintage condition but over time the cotton has lengthened near the fastener. This seems quite sound, but I would recommend tidying it up for the sake of neatness and security. Fastens with a secure, vintage screw barrel. Hand made, the beads vary in size but measure 9 mm approx. Necklace measures approx 32 inches (82cm) approx. Millefiori beads are made individually by placing slices of millefiori cane onto a base bead made molten in a furnace. The bead is turned in front of the heat and the canes melt and fuse together. The bead maker then places the bead in a mould where it is pressed into its final shape. Close examination of the beads in this necklace illustrate this art. Translated from the Italian millefiori means thousand flowers; a cane fused from different layers of coloured glass resembles tiny flowers
