Title |
A Post Medieval lead alloy and glass cuff link fastener |
||
Description |
English: A Post Medieval lead alloy and glass cuff link fastener dating late 17th - mid 18th century. This cuff link is discoidal with a convex front and back. There is an inset, faceted, green glass stone set within the lead alloy cuff link. The lead alloy section has been decoratively cast with a beaded rim and two linear grooves below. There is a little damage and part of the beaded rim is missing. The shank has been cast integrally with the button; the shape is slightly distorted but it is complete. There appear to be remains of gilding over the top of the green glass; very small patches survive at the edge of the glass near the beaded rim. The link and other fastener which would comprise this cufflink are missing.
Read (2005:99) illustrates two very similar examples nos. 391 and 392 although they have differently coloured glass the construction and decoration is the same. Read suggests a date range of late 17th - mid 18th century and notes examples are also known in silver and gold. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database e.g. LON-CD52E3 Dimensions: thickness: 13.09mm; diameter: 12.26mm; weight: 2.37g. Reference: Read, B. 2005. Metal Buttons C.900BC - AD1700. Portcullis Publishing, Langport, Somerset. |
