Antique French Silver Hinged Bangle Bracelets Pair, Signed

This pair of antique French silver bangle bracelets features slender hollow tubular construction with discreet hinged openings and secure tongue-and-box clasps. Their clean, understated design allows them to be worn together as a matched pair or individually. The maker’s hallmark appears to read N.Z. with an arrow, a mark associated with French silversmith Nicolas Zanian between approximately 1909 and 1913. Very worn impressions near the clasps may represent French Minerva assay marks, although they are no longer distinct enough for definitive identification.

Condition is good antique condition with surface scratches, small marks, mild patina, and slight irregularities consistent with age and use. The hollow bangles retain their form, and both hinged clasps open and close properly. The worn hallmarks and all notable condition details are shown in the photographs.
