FLOWER OF BARCELONA SQUARE TILE PENDANT (PANOT)

The Baldosa or Panot de Barcelona pendant is a necklace with the representation of the flower design of some of Barcelona's street tiles.

The iconic Flor de Barcelona (panot) tile was first documented in 1906 when the Barcelona City Council decided to hold a public competition to pave the streets of the city and put an end to the mud on them. Five models of hydraulic cement tiles were chosen, including the well-known flower. Until recently the design was attributed to the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch because of its resemblance to the tiles at the entrance to Casa Amatller (Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona), but studies in 2013 confirmed that it was not the same design.

The size of the pendant is 12 x 12 mm and 2 mm thick and it has a 40 cm long chain included with the possibility of 45 cm. 

Made of 924 sterling silver with black background (oxidised silver).
