An elegant pair of cufflinks featuring solid mother-of-pearl facings, finely grooved and inlaid with slender metal strips forming an open treillage pattern. Inspired by the latticework ornament characteristic of the Louis XV style, the geometric motif creates a particularly beautiful contrast against the natural iridescence of the mother-of-pearl. Such Rococo-inspired ornament enjoyed renewed popularity during the early 20th century, when historic French decorative styles were frequently reinterpreted for fashionable personal accessories. A refined example of the period’s taste for combining luxurious natural materials with delicately executed revivalist ornament.
The facings measure 1,4 cm in diameter
These are in very good antique condition, no major visible dents or scratches. Some wear near the edges of the mother of pearl facings which is barely visible. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
