French designer Henri-Victor Miault was born in 1881 - 1960. This art nouveau necklace was probably made circa 1900. It’s a very elegant design with slender open wire work which represents grass seeds. I think the model Folle avoine which translates to wild oats.
The necklace is 18ct Gold with 2 facetted amethyst, their are marks on the front left hand side unfortunately I can’t read them.
Looking at Henri-Victor Miault work there is in my opinion no denying that it his is work. I would be interested in what you think.
Many thanks for looking
Hi Jean :-)
Nice necklace!
Even if the wild oats motif can look similar, I don't think it is Miault... the oats construction isn't consistant with his work. He carved the oats when yours are little parts soldered.
He signed his work too...

Hi Pascale, there are markings on the front but I can’t make the marks out. I must admit I don’t know his work, I bought the necklace because I fell in love with it, the necklace is very delicate and feminine.
When I look at the link you sent I can’t really see the difference except the oats are more closed on my necklace. I’ll do some more research, see if I come up with more of Folle avoine. Has always thanks for your comment it’s very must appreciated, and stay safe.
Many thanks
