Antique 1905 sterling silver hinged bangle by Henry Matthews, with Birmingham hallmarks and an interior patent mark. This Edwardian bracelet pairs timeless silver with a fascinating piece of early mechanical design.
The “H.M” maker’s mark in a split-clover cartouche identifies Henry Matthews of Vittoria Street, Birmingham. The anchor is the Birmingham Assay Office mark, the lion passant confirms sterling silver, and the date letter “f” indicates 1905. Inside, the bracelet is stamped “PATENT NO 17413,” marking its distinctive mechanical closure.
We love that this bangle carries its history inside and out: a keepsake from another era, made to be worn and enjoyed. It’s classic shape brings a little antique character to everyday outfits and special occasions alike.
