A striking 19th-century Italian bracelet showcasing masterful hand-carved Mediterranean coral in an elaborate hunting dog motif. The vivid orange-red coral is intricately sculpted into the head of a retriever surrounded by detailed floral and foliate elements, accented with smaller coral cabochons. Set on a richly patinated gold cuff, the design is further embellished with rose-cut diamonds, adding subtle sparkle to the bold composition. Likely created in Naples, a historic center of coral artistry, this bracelet exemplifies the high craftsmanship and naturalistic detail of the Victorian era’s fascination with animal and nature themes. A rare and wearable piece of antique art, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of fine coral jewelry.
