A recent buy of the kind of repousse work I love!
7,5" outer circumference, heavy 87grams!
Inner is smooth, certainly two silver shells soldered together.
Don't you think the detailed work is amazing?
Love the detail, is the bracelet from India or the Far East.
This is GORGEOUS, KYRATANGO!!!
Jean, french Indochina... Annam, Tonkin, Cambodia, Cochinchina...
Vetraio, thanks for your enthousastic comment! :-)
Thanks Nutsabotas!
Thank you Phil! It is stamped silver French Indochina.
wonderfull work!!! superbe!
pas du repoussé kyra, mais travail gravé travail au burin, belle ciselure, on dirait un travail indien il y a deux poinçons.
Antikarium, thanks for your comment!
The two stamps hallmarks say "indochina" and "silver"
I found a tiny maker's mark elsewhere "a/lorraine cross/d" in a rectangle.
For the work, it is repousse AND reperce (pierced)
for the outer shell, united with a plain smooth shell for the inner part.
When you apply your mouth on it and blow, your breath isn't stopped and goes out through the pierced parts!
(I cleaned it before, lol!)
Merci !
These buckle design were relatively common in years 30/50.
Not very comfortable to wear (I've small wrist, but fater fore arm, lol)
