Description & History
This vintage Céline Paris necklace is one of the finest examples of the chic discretion that characterizes the brand's jewelry — the fine and light gold Figaro chain, the small relief-sculpted carriage pendant barely larger than a fingernail: nothing flashy, all refinement. And yet, for those who know how to look, it is one of the most historically charged symbols of the house of Céline.
The carriage — a two-wheeled coach pulled by a galloping horse — is one of the most recurring and emblematic motifs in the Céline universe. Present from the first decades of the house founded in 1945, it symbolizes movement, elegance, and 19th-century bourgeois Paris — an imaginary that perfectly matches the DNA of Céline Vipiana, whose creations were aimed at the active and well-dressed Parisian woman. It has been found on garment buttons, belt buckles, jewelry, and silk scarves of the house since the 1970s — a stylistic constant that has spanned decades and artistic directors.
This miniature pendant (2 × 0.4 cm) in sculpted gilt metal with relief is remarkably delicate — galloping horse, coachman's silhouette, spoked wheels, everything is there in a format barely larger than a bracelet charm. Suspended from a fine and light 39.5 cm gilded Figaro chain, it can be worn as an elegant and discreet choker — perfect for layering with other chains, or alone for a subtle and knowing touch of Céline.
In good overall condition, the gold plating is uniform, with no major flaws. The Céline hallmark is engraved on the back of the pendant. Sold with a Rarr Vintage box — a vintage Céline jewel as discreet as it is rich in history, for those who prefer the sign to ostentation.
