ESTATE: Vintage Silver Amalgam Vintage Filigre Bracelet, Portuguese

Description

Silver Amalgam Vintage Filigre Bracelet, Portuguese. This listing is for a Gaspar Vieira large filigree bracelet. It is approx. 7 inches long and 1.5 inches wide  constructed of 3 large and 3 smaller panels with intricate filigree designs, all hinged together. The piece has a tongue in slot clasp that closes with a secure click. The clasp is marked Gaspar Vieira Porto, and the back "Imperial." While this artist was famous for their sterling filigre, this is not sterling. I believe, but cannot verify, that Imperial silver from them was about 75% silver.
The workmanship is exquisite, with a finely detailed pattern. Manufactured late 19th or early 20th century. A real beauty!
