Antique Silver Bracelet Intricate Persian Bead Work

Price $60

"This elegant Persian bracelet dates from 1910-1915 and is a captivating Asian beauty. It is antique Persian silver and features highly sought after intricate, delicate, hand made silver beads. The bead are stacks of tiny stamped disks and domes with round bead accents. The double row of beads are joined at their inner sides over the full length, and there are 20 beads in all. The beads are Persian silver and their backings are silver plated brass. You cannot see any brass on this piece, and there is no greening or lack of silver, but Im certain the brass is there deep inside. The bracelet is signed on the ring shank, and it is a Persian stamp that is very worn and hard to read. Im familiar with the designs of Persian stamps and this stamp is Persian for the numerals 84, relating to the fineness of the silver content. The bracelet is 6 3/4"" long x 5/8"" wide. It is in excellent antique condition with no imperfections or damage. The silver has shine on the highest surfaces with an aged silver patina overall. This is a very old piece, and I do notice that there are a couple of old, minor repairs. Where the beads join together in the center, I can detect where there are two tiny new welds in two spots. Im certain this was done to strengthen the old joints, and the new welds were well done and do not affect the cosmetic appearance. Im certain the spring clasp is not original to this piece and if you would like the bracelet to be made longer, I can add a length of sterling silver chain for you at no extra charge upon request."
