Description: This exquisite piece is a gold bracelet featuring a central circle. The entire bracelet is intricately decorated with openwork interlacing designs that replicate Viking ornaments from the 9th to 10th centuries. These designs are enriched with granulation and wirework, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The bracelet is presented in its original morocco case, which is covered in red velvet and silk. The lid of the case is adorned with gold lettering that reads: "TO H.R.H. THE PRINCESS OF WALES - F. AHRENDS & Co. 165 PICCADILLY. LONDON. DUTCH GALLERY."
Notably, the bracelet itself bears a mark indicating it is made of 15 carat gold and features the feathers of the Prince of Wales, signifying royal patronage from the seller. This bracelet is a testament to both the skill of its makers and the historical context of its creation in the late 19th century.
