This is a quite rare, and unusual, early 19th century six panel handpainted bracelet with a different bird in each panel. I have been purchasing and collecting antique and vintage jewelry for thirty years, and have not come across a bracelet like this before. Each of the handpainted birds is set in a silver surround with a beveled glass front, linked together, and fastened with a box clasp. The image detail is excellent, and each panel is unique. It appears as if the birds are from different countries, as one is a parrot, one a peacock, and another a waxwing. It is impossible to tell what the birds are painted on, but it doesn't appear to be paper. Possibly ivory. This is truly a collectors piece. Condition: Glass has some minor surface wear under magnification. One bird has been professionally re handpainted. Colors are delicate, but vibrant. Size: Length- 7 inches. Largest panel -height 1 3/8 inches, width 1 inch. |
