Description

This antique silver cuff bracelet is attributed to the Berber (Amazigh) people of Morocco, specifically resembling the Tanbelt style from the Tiznit or Khenifra regions. The piece is constructed from silver and features a wide, hinged design. The exterior is decorated with intricate, multi-banded metalwork including horizontal rows of twisted wire filigree, scrollwork, and a central register of pierced triangular geometric cutouts. The bracelet is accented with four bezel-set cabochon inserts, consisting of two red and two light blue stones, likely glass or semi-precious materials such as carnelian and turquoise-colored stone. The closure mechanism utilizes a vertical metal pin that passes through interlocking loops, secured by two attached safety chains. No hallmarks, maker marks, or purity stamps are visible on the interior or exterior surfaces.


Condition report:

The bracelet is in good antique condition with signs of wear consistent with age and use. A visible matte patina and tarnish are present throughout the silver metalwork. The hinge and pin closure remain functional. No missing stones or significant structural damage are observed from the provided perspective.
