Description
Extremely rare and impportant Tiffany & Co bracelet with sardonyx hardstone cupid cameo,c.1880, from the 550 Broadway location of Tiffany and Co, with the original box.Total weight of the bracelet and cameo:30 dwts.The back of the sardonyx hardstone cameo is engraved T & Co as well as No.7, with the additonal numbers of 2497 and Edg.This engraving is light but visible and difficult to photograph.We are uploading photos of the original box today.The brass plaque on the lower part of the box says: With Fondest Love.The 550 Broadway location was opened in 1853 and the Union Square location was opened in 1870.Engraved Josephine and 1869 and Christmas on the gold.//////////David's notes: this is a museum piece.It is in great condition and the hardstone cameo, while being extremely difficult to carve, is a work of art.Apparently on page 64 of the John Loring book on Tiffany is illustrated a very similar hardstone cameo, although I don't own the book to have seen the image.
Condition
Excellent condition.The felt on the hump on the box where the bracelet rests is slightly worn as is the felt on the hinge area on the box, where there is some losses.
