Description
Stuart Period Silver Charles II and Katherine of Braganza Wedding Cufflinks
17th century A.D. Button links with flaming hearts over crossed arrows joined by an oval loop. 2.17 grams, 21 mm (3/4 in.).
Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a Somerset collector, UK, since at least the early 2000s. Cufflinks and other dress fittings such as buttons featuring the hearts design were originally conceived to commemorate the marriage of king Charles II of England to Catherine of Braganza in 1662, although various designs continued as a general symbol of love and/or marriage. [No Reserve]
