Item Description
A striking and aesthetic thumbnail cluster of curved and curled silve wires highlighted by the impressive long wire with the rosette-like termination. This cutie is from recent Chinese finds. The beautifully burnished wires add to the overall panache of this piece. Excellent Hongda wire silvers, such as this, bear a strong resemblance to classic Kongsberg wire silvers and would be much more expensive, if from there. Valued at $300-400.
