EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pair of bracelets, hailing from the 19th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia. The intricately designed bracelets, of unknown origin, are adorned with vivid enamel work and inlaid with an array of precious gemstones and glass. The centerpiece of each bracelet is a stunning peacock, a symbol of beauty, pride, and good fortune in various Asian cultures. The peacocks are depicted in a Bassetteille style, a popular decorative art form originating in Delhi, Hindustan, and later spreading to Rajasthan and other parts of India. The Bassetteille technique involves the inlay of enamel and precious stones onto a metal base, creating a stunning contrast between the smooth, glossy enamel and the rough, textured metal. These bracelets were likely produced in the studios of Jaipur or other major jewelry centers in India during the 19th century. They reflect the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill that was prevalent during this period. The use of enamel and precious stones not only adds to the aesthetic value of the bracelets but also enhances their durability, ensuring that they remain cherished objects for generations to come. Today, these bracelets are part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to their historical and cultural significance. The close-up image of the bracelets reveals the intricate details of the enamel work and the vibrant colors of the gemstones, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful objects.
