You are absolutely right Jose. They are beautifully worn and really have character. I love them! With kind regards. Peter
Really beautiful decoration. But am I right to assume that they are two single cuffs? Each beautifully crafted. Real worthy collector's items. Normally I love silver items, but the outstanding craftmanship with the warm patina and wear gives it now full homage to the maker. GR. Ingrid.
I am very grateful for your nice comments, Ingrid and Peter. They are made of a very humble material (certainly no traces of silver at all!!) but I liked their strong character. @Ingrid-You are right they are not a matching pair but each of it have a different design. What would not surprise me much is that they came from the same smith.
Wonderful designs...a dream...I love the warm, rough , well worn look. They do look very old. Nothing better than a bit of copper /brass to add a bit of magic. And great background. Congrats
Very lovely old pieces! Great designs and workmanship.
