A distinctive pair of German Late Jugendstil cufflinks, made from brass and plated with Nickel-Silver, also called "Alpacca" which is a durable, corrosion-resistant alloy made of copper, nickel, and zinc. Despite its name and bright, silvery-white appearance, it contains no actual silver. the pair features square facings, with its design built around sweeping, swirling lines, with beaded accents framing a subtly hammered centre set with a single faceted blue glass stone. The contrast between the cool silver-toned metal, textured surface, and deep blue centre gives the pair a refined yet lively appearance. Their design reflects the later development of German Jugendstil, where natural movement and surface texture were increasingly combined with structured, architectural forms. A characterful pair of early 20th-century cufflinks, full of movement, texture, and unmistakable German Jugendstil charm.
The cufflink facings measure 1,5 x 1,5 cm
These are in good Antique condition. No major visible dents, some wear and fading of the plating, which is barely noticeable when worn. Otherwise fully cleaned and ready to wear!
