This is a magnificent and highly collectible antique sterling silver bypass wrap snake bracelet, masterfully hand-crafted from an authentic piece of 18th-century Georgian flatware.

This exceptional piece features the highly coveted, genuine script hallmark of Hester Bateman, globally celebrated as the Queen of English Silversmiths.

Weighing a substantial 27.8 grams, the silver has an ideal, solid weight that retains its shape beautifully while offering comfortable daily wear.

The wider section of the band showcases Bateman’s signature Neoclassical bright-cut hand-engravings, featuring exquisite crossed-line flourishes and stylized geometric motifs that catch the light beautifully.

This has been cleverly converted into a timeless serpent design, hand-forming a detailed snake head complete with meticulously stamped reptilian scale markings.

Because it retains the authentic Georgian sovereign duty mark alongside the maker's initials, this piece represents a flawless blend of late 18th-century silversmithing pedigree and unique wearable artistry.

Please note that this listing is for the standalone bracelet only, and the velvet display background seen in the photos is not included.

It is in very good antique condition with a beautiful natural patina that highlights the depth of the hand-carved details.

This is an incredibly rare opportunity for both antique silver purists and jewellery collectors alike to own a verified piece of Hester Bateman history.

Please study pictures before purchasing.
