Early Chinese Cloisonne Hinged Bangle Clamper Bracelet
Gorgeous blue Cloisonne clamper bracelet, probably
from the early 1920's. It has an overall square shape with rounded
corners and is ornamented with gold (brass) wire scrolls on top and
bottom plus beautiful tiny detailed flowers and leaves.
Bracelet has a nice weight and is also enameled on the inside in solid blue. Probably Chinese in origin.
Inside measurements are 2 1/2" by 2". Bracelet is 1/4"thick by 3/8" wide. It fits a small wrist up to 6 1/2" .
The
outside comes to a point, if you sliced the bracelet and looked at the
cut area it would form a triangle. Please see the pictures and you will
be able to see what I mean, it is easy on the clasp picture.
There
is no loss of enamel, no dings or fleabites, clasp is hidden push
button type and in excellent working condition. There is slight
patination on the male side of the clasp, but nothing serious.
This is a fine piece you don't see often, really gorgeous early bracelet in excellent vintage condition.
