Description: | A pair of silver 18th century cuff links in good condition. The cuff links are comprised of two octagonal discs joined by an oval loop. Both discs have a concave reverse, with a central projecting loop. The upper surface of each disc is decorated with an incised rose design, comprised of four large and four smaller petals alternately aranged. The four larger petals have an additional curved line engraved on their outer inside edge. The centre of the flower is circular and is filled with a cross hatch design. The edges of the discs are bordered with an irregularly positioned and slightly curved line along each edge. The silver link appears to have the initials H (or R?) B within a rectangular cartouche stamped on it. It is not common to find maker's marks on this type of object.Similar cuff link elements have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: IOW-4A7C02; IOW-FBD221; LON-427394; LON-BAD6E2; SUSS-F91492; WILT-323F27 and WMID-F97DF7. They are generally dated c. AD 1720-1800.
