Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Queen Victoria's double headed snake bracelet, immortalized in a sketch by the court painter Sir David Wilke, touched off a widespread and inter-generational craze for serpents in bracelets, rings and necklaces. The beautiful Queen Alexandra, Edward VII's wife, appeared for a well-known royal portrait with serpent bracelets on both arms.
