Beautiful and very rare pair of antique Multan hinged cuffs.

From the city of Multan in the Sindh Punjab region of Pakistan, famed for its rich tradition of enamel work. Bought by my father Bernard Heaphy on his travels in the 1980’s.

This is a heavy pair of bracelets (together they weigh 110g). Hollow construction silver enameled in dark blue, turquoise and coral shades, hinged, with hexagonal mirab-style terminal points, this pair of bracelets are unique and a true collector’s item. 

Dating to the 19th century, these beautiful bracelets are very wearable antique tribal jewelry.

We have seen nothing else of this age available for sale to compare with these cuffs. 

Measurements: Diameter of cuff approx 1cm.  Inside circumference approximately 14 cm. Weight 109.8 g
