About the Item
A distinctive and finely crafted example of Yemeni silver jewelry, this Silver Rope and Medallion Bracelet, made circa 1900, reflects a unique departure from the more traditional solid-band forms. Instead, the core structure of the bracelet is composed of three densely intertwined silver ropes, masterfully woven together to create a flexible yet substantial framework.
Affixed along this intricate silver rope are a series of beautifully crafted medallions, each secured with a smooth, basket-weave patterned silver band attached discreetly at the back. Each medallion displays individual artistry and variation, offering a dynamic interplay of form and texture:
One medallion features a spiraled teardrop design adorned with delicate bead granules, framed by finely scrolled filigree work that emphasizes its graceful movement.
Another presents a large, commanding rosette, again enriched with bead granules and encircled by intricate filigree placements, showcasing both precision and depth.
The remaining medallions take the form of stylized stars, their centers and pointed corners composed of delicate openwork filigree, evoking both celestial beauty and artisanal finesse.
Together, these varied motifs create a bracelet that is both visually rich and harmoniously unified. The bracelet is quite large, and at the back of the last teardrop medallion, there is a hooked pin that fits into a loop set at the other end of the bracelet.
Light yet structured, the bracelet moves gracefully with the wearer, offering a stunning example of the creativity and technical excellence of Yemeni silversmiths at the turn of the century. Designed for a woman of taste and distinction, this piece remains a timeless celebration of cultural artistry.
