Antique Heraldic Sunburst Medallion Necklace Enamel Fleur-de-Lis Brass Maltese

Antique heraldic medallion necklace featuring a bold sunburst design with an enameled fleur-de-lis shield at center. This substantial piece appears to be late 19th to early 20th century European in origin, likely associated with a fraternal, civic, or ceremonial order. The necklace is constructed from mixed metals including brass or bronze with a gold-tone wash, showing authentic age patina and verdigris consistent with true antique manufacture. The medallion and chain are hand-assembled with riveted and pinned joints, and the enamel crest remains intact with attractive wear. A striking statement piece with strong historical and symbolic presence—ideal for collectors of antique jewelry, heraldry, fraternal regalia, or theatrical display.
