The Aesthetic Movement of the late Nineteenth Century had a big influence on the fine and the decorative arts of the Victorian Age. Shown here, a pair of gold-content cufflinks, hand-engraved with a partitioned, botanical design, surrounded with a silver bezel. It is not uncommon to find Nineteenth Century jewelry which was never marked as to metal content. Thus, we are uncertain of the karat grade of this gold. The "toggle" fastener on the back of the cufflinks was also common in the Nineteenth Century. Click on the photo above to learn more about this pair of handsome cufflinks.
More Golden Links tomorrow and in the days to come.
