Edwardian 1905 Handle Desk Magnifier Glass in Sterling Silver and Bamboo Wood

The handle with the silver is highly decorated with hammered and chiseled organic patterns of tassels and garlands. There a space in the shape of a coat of arms to be engraved Weight: 312 Grams, (200 Dwt) (0.68 Pound). Size: Diameter of 4 Inches (10.16 Cm). Measurements: 101.6 mm by 381 mm (4 x 15 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the silver assay office mark, ".925". Monograms: No Edwardian era, like the Georgian and Victorian eras before it, derives its name from the reign of the English King, Edward VII (1901-1910). Edwardian jewelry is known for representing femininity while incorporating a lot of the color white. Think diamonds, pearls and white metals like platinum and white gold. Diamonds often had an Old Mine or European cut and sapphires were a popular choice for a pop of color. They tended to be made from platinum and diamonds – the more, the merrier – and used fashionable, intricate techniques such as filigree and millegrain. Edwardian rings are works of art and best worn alone or alongside a simple wedding band. Millegraining, a new decorative technique made possible by the use of platinum, is featured often on Edwardian jewelry. Its border of delicate balls and ridges surrounding a gemstone or on the knife sharp edges of a design served to give jewelry a softer, lighter look. Condition: The overall condition of this magnifier is very good. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the silver or the wood parts. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D010923AAEY/.3333.
