1920s Essex Style Reverse Intaglio Dog Cufflinks

A distinguished pair of antique cufflinks dating from the 1920s, crafted in the iconic Essex style tradition. Each piece features a finely detailed enamel depiction of a stylised dog celebrated for its bold silhouette and symbolic association with loyalty and strength in early 20th century fashion.
The enamel artwork is meticulously reverse painted onto a flat backing and sealed beneath a clear, convex plastic dome which lends the image a captivating dimensional depth reminiscent of carved rock crystal. This technique provides a visually striking effect while offering an accessible alternative to luxury crystal cufflinks.
Set in warm gold plated metal with classic bar link backs, these cufflinks exemplify the refined craftsmanship and masculine elegance of the late Edwardian and Art Deco periods. They are an excellent choice for collectors and vintage enthusiasts seeking a distinctive accessory with authentic period character.
