Cufflinks
2008/11226/1-2
1850-1900 / Jewellery / Metal / Metalwork / The Wesley Family
Metal, engraved
Probably mid/late 1800s
Cufflinks are a traditional means of securing shirt cuffs; often they are decorative, and sometimes they are made from precious materials.
These gold-colour cufflinks are each engraved with a 'C' or a 'W'. When they entered the Collection many years ago, they were thought to have been the property of Charles Wesley (1707-1788). However, judging by the elaborate decoration, they are more likely to be Victorian (1837-1901).
