There are cufflinks made for the boardroom, and then there are these — made for the man who also kept a Matisse print above his desk. Each square gold tone face is inset with a hand-fired enamel tile in deep midnight blue and black, the mottled glaze alive with texture and depth, like a night sky or a dark sea. Against this atmospheric ground, an ivory figural nude sits in a classic artist’s model pose — body half-turned, rendered with the loose, confident brushwork of a mid-century modernist. The image recalls the great tradition of figure study in Western art, from Rodin’s sketches to the gestural paintings of the Abstract Expressionist era. Patent pending designation on the toggle back suggests 1950s American production; the quality of the enamel work points to studio craft rather than mass manufacture. A rare and genuinely beautiful piece of wearable art. Good vintage condition.
