Qu'hier Que Demain 18ct French Ruby Pendant "More than yesterday, less than tomorrow", Art Deco c1940

Sold

This beautiful French 18ct Gold pendant bears the iconic “Plus qu’hier, moins que demain” rebus — meaning “More than yesterday, less than tomorrow.” The phrase, taken from a poem written in 1889 by Rosemonde Gérard to her husband Edmond Rostand (author of Cyrano de Bergerac), has come to symbolise enduring and ever-growing love.

The word “plus” is represented by a diamond-set plus sign, and “moins” by a Ruby-set minus sign, a clever and romantic visual pun. This piece is a later Art Deco example of the famous design created by Alphonse Augis in 1907, featuring a soft crêpe de chine textured background and a delicate laurel and floral border to symbolise the triumph of love. The reverse is stamped “DEPOSE”, denoting a registered design.

Elegant, meaningful, and instantly recognisable, this timeless French love token is a perfect gift or collector’s piece, a romantic expression of devotion that transcends eras.
