It is my pleasure to offer this Awesome Antique Victorian
Revival Bangle Bracelet. It dates to around the 1920s-30s by design and styling
as it is reminiscent of those Antique designs popular some 40-50 years earlier
in the 1860s-80s.
It is carved and stamped with a beautiful design comprised of floral,
foliate and geo-shapes set amid a stippled background which sets it off
superbly and catches the light at every turn. The design is filled with a black
enamel-like material giving it the appearance of genuine enamel the technique
of which is referred to as t’aille
d’epargne or black enamel tracery. It is an enamel technique whereby an
etched design is filled with powdered enamel then fired in a kiln. This same
design is repeated on the back and is framed by the rib to the edge. With
superb attention to detail, the edges are stamped with fan design – please see
the pictures.
The box & tongue clasp clicks closed securely and the hinge
functions as new. The safety chain offers additional security.
COLOUR
This bangle bracelet has a wonderful buttery yellow gold hue and that silky smooth feel usually only
associated with solid carat gold.
