It's all in the details, on these reverse-painted Golf-theme cufflinks...
Reverse-style painting requires a steady hand and fine eye. The images are painted onto the back of the glass, giving it an interesting, 3-dimensional quality. This pair of cufflinks comes from one of the most proliferate Men's accessories companies of the 20th century: Swank. They come in a rounded, rectangular frame of gold-toned metal, with swivel bullet-style backs. The base back of the reverse painting is mother of pearl style shell, and i the image we can see a golfer taking a swing on the green, with a dapple of trees in the background. The back of each cufflink is marked 'Swank' with a very Art Deco stylized lettering. They are very well-made, with strong and sturdy construction and components. Overall condition is good, with some light signs of overall wear; some discoloration to frame edges and some staining to the interior reverse painted section (but this ends up looking a bit like a sunset!). Please see photographs for full details.
