This solid silver bangle was created in Queen Victoria's England. The surface of the bangle is smoothly polished on one side and decorated on the other with engraved vine and flower designs that are integrated into framing elements. The bangle is a wonderful example of jewellery of the so-called Aesthetic Movement. In the 1880s, many English artists turned against the tide of historicism and searched for forms that were not already tainted with old meaning. They found inspiration in distant Japan, whose gates had opened to the West in 1868 after a long period of seclusion. All of a sudden, Western artists were confronted with an art that offered them a completely new perspective: simple lines, elegant flatness, natural motifs reduced to the essentials. In the course of this movement, silver bangle in particular was created. Their value was no longer based on the number and size of sparkling diamonds, but solely on their original design. The shiny silver surfaces were preferably decorated with reduced engravings inspired by Japanese depictions of nature. The bangle we found in London is a fine example of English silver jewelry - and an original from the Victorian era.
