The cufflink comprises two octagonal discs with a loop on each reverse and an interconnecting oval link securing the two discs. Each of the discs has a concave reverse and the front surface is decorated with an engraved pattern. The pattern has a central motif of a six pointed star burst of radiating lines within a scalloped border. There is no maker??s mark visible on the link.
Dora Thornton confirms this is less than 300 years old and so does not fall under the Treasure Act.
