Etruscan Revival Bangle | Floral & Ropework Detailing in 15ct Gold | Chester 1867

POA

An antique Etruscan Revival bangle in 15ct gold, hallmarked for Chester, 1867.

The surface is defined by a finely executed band of applied granulation, ropework, and deeply stamped rosette and fan motifs, all consistent with the mid-Victorian fascination with classical goldwork.

The design is symmetrical, detailed and well-proportioned, showing a high level of technical skill.

It is built with a solid hinge, push clasp and its original safety chain.

The bangle measures 5.7cm inner diameter and 2cm wide, ideal for a medium wrist.

Surviving examples from the 1860s in 15ct gold, with this level of preservation and design integrity, are not easy to source.

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