Art Nouveau Cufflinks
Sinuous Vines! |
|
The sinuous tendrils of a stylized vine or flower surround a sparkling star-set diamond. These cufflinks are part of a series of flora-inspired cufflinks created by an unidentified maker during the Art Nouveau period. Crafted in 14kt gold, circa 1900.
 In the years around 1900 Art Nouveau jewelers created beautiful jewels that interpreted nature with fantastic, sometimes surreal, designs. These cufflink are a nice example of the dramatic, imaginative designs of the era.
The cufflinks are beautifully constructed with "bean" backs attached to the sold gold fronts with sturdy curved bridges. The reverse of the fronts and insides of the bean backs are stamped "14K" for the purity of the gold and with the unidentified maker's mark, a stylized Maltese cross. More about this mystery maker can be found at Garden of the Maltese Cross Maker.
