Up for auction is a magnificent, highly intricate Antique Handcrafted Wire Filigree and Enamel Wide Cuff Bracelet. This stunning statement piece features an openwork panel design woven from rows of delicate parallel wire framework. It is dramatically adorned with beautiful hand-painted vitreous enamel floral blossoms, scrolling green vines, and blue leaf flourishes.
One of the finest features of this bracelet is its rare, historically secure threaded screw-in pin hinge clasp. To wear the bracelet, you simply unscrew the top knurled crown to release the pin bar from the hinge sleeve.
⚠️ Condition Notes & Wear Details (Please Read Before Bidding):
This is a true antique estate find that shows its historic age and wear beautifully, collection, or careful wear:
- Enamel Wear: There is noticeable, honest enamel loss and chipping on the flower petals and green leafy borders. Several sections show the bare metal underneath where the glass enamel has flaked away over the decades.
- Metal & Patina: The metal framework shows a deep, uncleaned antique patina, tarnish, and surface darkness, especially on the interior. We have left it exactly as found to preserve its original historic character.
- Structure: The fine wire mesh background and the threaded closure remain fully intact and operational.
Please review all high-resolution macro photos closely to inspect the exact areas of enamel chipping, tarnish, and overall cosmetic condition before placing your bid.
