This is a very rare example of the work of Art Smith, the New York City American modernist.  The hourglass shape cuff is crafted of copper and brass.  Circa 1950.

The thoughtful craftsmanship includes a thick hand wrought copper strip hidden inside the top of the bracelet that keeps the piece from being bent at the center which would have been the thinnest and weakest point.

Measurements:  the bracelet fits a small wrist with an inner circumference (including the wrist opening) of approx 6-1/2”.  It is 1-5/8” at the widest.

Signature:  stamped inside with the Art Smith signature

Condition:  the bracelet has not been polished and shows typical tarnish and some spotting, minor typical rubbing, very minor dent, a bit out of round from being squeezed onto a smaller wrist.

ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY.
