Soviet Era Brass & Mother of Pearl Cufflinks – Asian Sage Face | Vintage Collectible
Soviet Era Brass & Mother of Pearl Cufflinks – A Rare Piece of History
Imagine the stories these little fellows have witnessed. Crafted during the Soviet era, these extraordinary cufflinks carry decades of history on a pair of shirt sleeves. Each circular face features a wise, bearded man in a conical Asian hat – rendered in oxidized brass – set against a luminous, iridescent natural mother of pearl disc, all framed by an intricate dark brass border of scrolling arabesques. They are a conversation piece, a collector's treasure, and an effortlessly sophisticated accessory all at once.
