Description
A stunning pair of vintage solid 14k gold blue and white enamel 'Washington's sleeve buttons' cufflinks.
This fabulous pair of cufflinks are an adaption of the fashionable gold and enamel sleeve buttons George Washington acquired shortly before his retirement as President in 1797, the originals are on show at the Mount Vernon museum. Most of these adaptions were made in silver or gold fill, however this beautiful pair-just like Washington's-are made in heavy solid 14K yellow gold with a striking central floral design set into bright white enamel surrounded by a frame of cobalt blue enamel inlaid squares, the outer frame has gold stars set into further white enamel to complete the fantastic look. The reverses are marked 'Washington's Sleeve Buttons' and stamped '14K'. The cufflinks test for 14K gold.
The cufflinks measure approximately 3/4 x 1/2 inch across the enamel faces and are about 7/8 wide when fully extended. The cufflinks have a total weight of approximately 7.8g.
The cufflinks are in excellent condition with general extremely light wear.

TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS
We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
