拍品专文

This contemporary Cartier necklace is reminiscent of jewelry from the Mughal period. Incorporating an antique spinel engraved 'Akbar Shah Bahadur', the necklace continues the firm's tradition from the early twentieth century of designing jewelry that highlights historical elements. The spinel refers to the great Mughal ruler, Akbar Shah II, who was demoted to the rank of King of Delhi by the East India Company in the early 19th century.
