A nice pair of sterling silver cufflinks, the front faces worked in the "Curio Medallion" style. This design, created by George Shiebler, was intended to give the impression that the pieces were actually ancient coins excavated from the ground. The edges are intentionally irregular, the surfaces pitted, and the sharp designs softened as if they were worn away by the centuries. One face depicts Apollo, god of the sun and representative of male beauty, dressed in his warrior's helmet embossed with an image of his golden chariot. The other features a goddess, and though she has no identifying attributes, it's likely she represents Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love. The faces are attached to custom-made made backs cast to compliment the original designs of the faces. The faces are marked "Sterling Silver" and have an unknown maker's mark.

Origin: America, ca. 1880. Condition: excellent. Size: 5/8" diameter. Weight: 14.2 grams.
