AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Pair of Wedgwood Black Basalt & Sterling Silver Intaglio Cufflinks, 1984 (Original Boxed)
Materials & Origin: An authentic pair of cufflinks by the renowned British maker Wedgwood, crafted from the iconic Black Basalt ceramic.
Hallmarks & Date: Set in sterling silver mounts, fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1984 (including the Anchor, Lion Passant, and date letter "k").
Craftsmanship: Features the sophisticated gold-decorated intaglio technique. The classical portraits are incised into the basalt, creating a masterful three-dimensional optical illusion that mimics raised relief.
Iconography:The fronts depict classical profiles of Julius Caesar with a laurel wreath and a philosopher with a fillet. This "Power & Wisdom" pairing was a classic choice for gentlemen during the 18th-century Neoclassical period.
Overall in good condition, complete with the original Wedgwood presentation box. Please note the natural signs of age: the gilt layer has thinned over time, revealing the original 925 sterling silver base underneath.
