    Ayis, beautiful item!

    But is this not made somewhere between 1930-1960? The lock is (what I can see of it) not antique.

    The design looks deco, maybe twenties or thirties (?)

  • Alaa eddine SAGID February 20, 2013 at 11:37am

    you both are probably right!

    the overall shape indicates the thirties

    thanx

    Hey Ayis, is there a 'china' mark somewhere on the bracelet? This looks like an item made for the export market. Very nice and wearable!
