N477A This splendid Egyptian Revival bangle was probably made late 19th century, following the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 for which Verdi wrote Aida, and which inspired Egyptiana of all sorts. The first such event was Nelson’s victory over the French at the battle of the Nile in 1805, although Napoleon’s aides were the first to investigate ancient Egyptian artefacts and archaeology including the Rosetta stone in 1799 from whose three different scripts with the same meanings it was ultimately possible to read and understand hieroglyphics; and of course the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1923 saw another wave of Deco-related Egyptiana.
This bangle is encrusted with lapis lazuli symbols and hieroglyphics, and tests as 18k, weighing 41.33 grs. -

French .835 second standard silver bangle in the Japonaiserie style cast with dragons and bamboo circa 1875. The craze for Japanese-inspired textiles, art and objects was inspired by Arthur Lazenby Liberty of the famous London department store visiting Japan in the 1860s and bringing back a large collection of Japanese prints, fabrics and artefacts for sale in his store.
They became wildly fashionable and inspired the taste for all things Japanese and this extended to France where this bangle was made. It also inspired Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic opera ‘The Mikado’ a skit on Japanese life and customs.

N579A Arthur Lazenby Liberty, the founder of the famous London store, went to Japan in the 1860s and brought back with him all sort of Japanese art and artefacts, which caused a sensation and became a fruitful design source. Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera The Mikado was a skit on the craze for all things Japanese.
This sterling silver bangle, probably made in Birmingham around 1875, is engraved with typical motifs of bamboo, birds and flowers. The width of the bangle is 1 inch: 25mm and will fit most wrists. The catch works well. There are two tiny dents consistent with age and wear.
