Beautiful ornament, after cleaning it looks almost like new. I love the filigree work on top. Impressive
Impressive piece Lynn. Very intense with its little but solid linked chains.
Very neat backside work.
Thank you Mustafa, Peter, and Ingrid. This piece shows why I am drawn to Bulgarian and Ottoman pieces in general... it's the opulence of the work.
A lovely piece and stunning before and after effect!
Lynn, your hard work has been well rewarded! A lovely piece. And only rarely found in silver gilt.
Thank you Betty and Frankie. I believe the silver is the typical 40% or so material, but it is lovely nonetheless.
I spent some time researching the coins today. They are from 1773-1780, 1 para coins from the Ottoman empire. This probably dates the ornament as early 19th century.
