A characterful pair of silver-plated brass cufflinks, likely of French or Belgian origin, featuring elegantly shaped facings with a distinctive flowing silhouette. Their surfaces are decorated with finely chased scrolling wave motifs, recalling the ocean-inspired rocailles of the Louis XV revival. The facings have been chemically textured, resulting in a satin-like finish. Combining inventive metalworking techniques with the flowing ornament of this popular revival style, these cufflinks are a charming example of early 20th century design.
The facings measure 1,7 x 1,3 cm
These are in good antique condition, no major visible dents, a few light scratches on the front which are not very noticeable. The silver-plated surfaces on the backs has completely worn away resulting in fully brass backs which are still very appealing. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
