Cape clasp featuring arabesques, made of chiselled silver. It dates from the beginning of the 19th century, french restoration period.

It is composed of two pieces, fitted out of a full hook and a hollowed hook.

The hook bears three hallmarks:

- the silver control hallmark (with the old man head stamp), hallmark used between 1819 and 1838. It is a 950/1000 purity silver.

- the parisian guarantee hallmark.

- the silversmith's hallmark, whose initials are JBR.

These clasps, which closed the capes and the mantles, were generally, during the 18th and 19th centuries, sewed on a regional costume.

Most of the time in silver, they could constitute an element of the woman's dowry.

Beautiful condition, with no lacks.
