Set of two silver clasps, from restoration period, around 1820.

They are composed of two pieces, fitted out of a full hook and a hollowed hook.

The motives are stylised flowers

One features cornucopias, surrounding a stylised flower. These motives are well chiselled and heavily embossed. The clasp bears on its hook a silversmith hallmark,

with the initials AR and two different silver control hallmarks of Paris, used between 1819 and 1838. Its measures are 3,35 inches by 1,57. (8,5 cm by 4). Its weight is 21,5 grms.

The second clasp presents a motive of stylized flowers, with a central round bud, extendeed in petals forming trefoil. The silversmith hallmark bears the initials DR. Measures are 3,94 inches by 1,57. (10 cm by 4). Weight is 15,5 grams.

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.

Very good condition, with no lacks.
