Etruscan Revival Bangle in 15ct Gold | Chester Hallmarked, 1867

POA

A rare and richly detailed antique bangle, crafted in 15 carat gold and fully hallmarked for Chester, 1867 - one of the most sought-after and short-lived assay towns in British hallmarking history.

The Etruscan Revival design features an intricate pattern of applied gold granulation and ropework, deeply embossed with rosette and fan motifs in extraordinary detail.

The craftsmanship is bold and unapologetically Victorian, with a solid hinge, discreet push clasp, and original safety chain.

This is a high-impact statement piece - flawlessly preserved, and wearable with absolute confidence. The interior diameter measures 5.7cm and the width is 2cm, making it suitable for medium wrists.

Chester gold hallmarks ceased in 1962 and are increasingly scarce. To find one this early, in 15ct, with such commanding design and in excellent condition, is exceptional.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
