Vintage Antique Persian Miniature Painting
Mother of Pearl Bracelet
Exquisite vintage Persian “story bracelet” featuring hand-painted miniature scenes on rectangular genuine mother of pearl panels. The intricate artwork depicts
traditional Persian figures in everyday life – people conversing, on horseback,
under tents, and in pastoral settings – with vibrant colors and fine details
that have survived beautifully.
• Length: 7.5 inches (fixed, non-adjustable – fits
medium wrist)
• Weight: 44.0 grams (substantial and well-made)
• Construction: Panels of natural mother of pearl set in silver frames with hinged links for flexibility; secure
clasp
• Condition: Very good vintage condition – paintings are
remarkably well-preserved with bright colors and minimal fading; only light
surface scratches on some panels. The silver shows characteristic natural tarnish/dark patina (typical for aged silver, adds authentic
antique charm; can be polished if desired)
• Hallmark/Mark: Visible maker’s mark/stamp present (as shown
in photos – appears to be a Persian or regional artisan mark); no standard
purity hallmark (common for many vintage Persian/Indian pieces from
early-mid 20th century). Reliable sources (antique jewelry references and
similar sold items) confirm these are typically mounted in silver (often low-grade to mid-grade, around 800–925 purity), consistent with the tarnish behavior and weight.
This is a classic collectible “Persian story teller” or
“picture panel” bracelet, handcrafted with folk art charm – likely from Iran or
Indo-Persian regions, circa mid-20th century or earlier. Perfect for collectors
of ethnic jewelry, miniature art, or unique vintage pieces!
