AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A charming 19th-century silver bookmark featuring an intricate high-relief (repoussé) decoration. The scene depicts two cherubs (putti) playfully surrounded by a lush arrangement of flowers, framed by elegant rococo-style scrolls.

Material: Solid silver (unmarked, but professionally acid-tested and guaranteed).

Period: 19th Century.

Motif: Floriation, scrolls and cherubs.

Dimension: 10x5.0cm
Weight: 42.81g


Condition: In good antique condition with a beautiful natural patina. Please note: As shown in the photographs, there is a missing element at the top (likely where a tassel, ribbon, or finial was originally attached). This does not detract from the beauty of the silverwork but is mentioned for accuracy.
