Description: Antique Victorian Aesthetic Period early wrap / coil adjustable fit bracelet: ~ Features panels with raised floral patterns that alternate with vertical bars~ True Aesthetic period design where they pursued "art for art's sake" and very much valued art, beauty and self expression and adorned as many objects as possible with such ~ This basic bracelet design or concept dates to 1883 - where a patent was applied for in January and granted June 19th of the same year for the construction and schematics. I spotted a similar adjustable coil panel bracelet in a Roddin 1887-89 catalog page titled "Fine Rolled Gold Plate Bracelets" and also have found original patent information that attributes this piece to Atwood and Lester from Attleboro, MA ~ Very special old antique piece all around~ Ready and waiting for your wrist, collection, and/or gift giving - you will love it!!!! ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True 19th century antique - circa late 1800's as dated - more specifically 1880's - Victorian period, Aesthetic movement subperiod, bracelet has partial / cut off patent date of Jun 19, 1883. METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Assuming it is "rolled gold" or gold platedCLOSURE/CLASP = None - slide on to wear MARKS = Each terminating end of the bracelet coil has stamping with the (partial) patent date information - one side is clearer than the other and both terminate prior to the year - but I have found information to confirm that this piece is indeed circa 1883. See pics and description above MEASUREMENTS = 3/8" wide - and forgiving - conforming fit that should accommodate most any wristUS RING SIZE = xWEIGHT = x CONDITION = Excellent antique condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. There is some gold plating or finish wear - but nothing out of the ordinary for a much loved / often worn bracelet going on 140 years old.
