    Description

    This superb antique Victorian c1880 14K yellow gold hinged bangle bracelet features  a beautifully etched face with geometric floral / foliate designs in five compartments, finely granulated rims top and bottom, and a smooth back. It is in the Etruscan Revival style, which became hugely popular in the late 19th century as European archaeologists in Egypt and the Middle East unearthed beautiful treasures from the ancient past. Imaginations soared as newspapers carried pictures of Pharaonic grave treasures and Londoners and Parisians flocked in droves to see such items in their famous museums. Ancient Etruscan (Egyptian) jewelry styles thus came back into vogue (i.e., experienced a "revival"). The tongue clasp on this piece is secure and the safety chain in tact. There are no hallmarks visible but the gold content has been verified at 14K by acid testing. The interior dimensions are: 58.7mm (L) x 44.2mm (W). The band is 2.6mm thick, 8.3mm wide at the bottom and 10.6mm wide at the top. The total weight is 16.3 grams. The bangle / bracelet is in excellent antique condition. This is an authentic Victorian antique item, in great condition. Please see photos for more details.
