This pair of modernist sterling silver cuff links exhibits a whimsical organic design, typical of the maker, Borresen and Lassen, of Hellerup, Denmark (1954-1965). The tine-like extensions are a bit sharp, but don’t seem to protrude. The soldering at one bridge bar looks a bit messy, partly obscuring the word ‘Denmark,’ but the bar is very secure. Each cuff link measures 1 1/8 inches long by 1 inch at the widest area. Weight: 15.7 grams total.
