AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Dutch antique silver Bible-lock bracelet with features of the Baroque style.

Such bracelets were made in the 19th and early 20th centuries from the silver clasps of old church Bibles.

The panels are connected to each other by several rows of small Jasseron chains.

Length is 20.0 cm
Width is 2.5 cm.
Weight is 17.64 g.

After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I want these special objects to find a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time that these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so that they are preserved for the distant future as well.

I ensure meticulous packaging and insured shipping.
