They are just beautiful Jose - Congratulations. Peter
Beautiful set , perfect shape, and very nice deep engravings. Very nice to have
Thanks a lot, Peter and Mustafa.
Now i am jealous JOSE.
These are stunners!!!
PLease do post a close up of the hallmarks, everything cries out in them as rather coming from MEKNES or even SAFI/ESSAOUIRA, but then evrything is possible especially when it gets to refined items such as these
Congrats for a wonderful find
Thank you very much, Alaa. Here you have a closer pic of the hallmark. Each bracelet has three identical ones. This is the one which seems more legible. The others are more faded.
lovely pieces and great photo...
These are real beauties! I believe I saw a similar pair in the Quai Branly Museum. You are a lucky man to own such a pair. Congrats. Beautiful textile in the background, where is it from?
Thank you very much Chantal and Betty. @Betty - The Background is an old Moroccan handwoven textile. I believe it was probably used as some sort of curtain (izar).
Total awesomeness.
I confirm the Marrakech hallmark. An important pair of a refined style often made for local elite in the fashion of FES.
Congratulations
Hallo,
very, very nice bracelets! Never seen such one in this quality! Congratulations!
Are they, were they gilded?
I confirm also that it is a round hallmark with the "fleur" (4 quadrangular points in the middle) from Marrakech (1318?) about 1900.
Best regards
Paul
