{"product_id":"bracelet-with-lion-hinges-fine-art-print","title":"Bracelet with Lion Hinges - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed photographic study of a 19th-century Indian gold bracelet, featuring lion-head hinges, rubies, and diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print depicts a 19th-century Indian bracelet, a piece that draws upon the long-standing traditions of Mughal jewellery design. The object features a rigid, hinged construction, a common form for high-status arm ornaments in South Asia. The central band displays a geometric arrangement of diamonds set within a lozenge pattern, flanked by rows of cabochon rubies. The metalwork is executed in gold, showing the characteristic warm tone associated with traditional Indian goldsmithing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most notable feature of this piece is the lion-head terminal at the hinge. The use of animal motifs, particularly the lion or 'simha', is a recurring theme in Indian decorative arts, often symbolising strength and royal authority. The craftsmanship reflects the kundan technique, where stones are set into gold foil, allowing for a secure and flush finish. The contrast between the deep red of the rubies and the pale, reflective quality of the diamonds creates a balanced visual rhythm across the surface of the bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis photographic reproduction captures the texture of the metal and the specific cut of the gemstones. It provides a clear view of the structural details, including the hinge mechanism and the setting of the stones. Such items were typically commissioned for the nobility, serving as both personal adornment and a display of wealth. The print offers an opportunity to examine the technical skill involved in historical jewellery production, focusing on the precision of the stone setting and the sculptural quality of the lion-head hinges. It is a study of form and material, documenting the aesthetic priorities of 19th-century Indian metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samarkande-plate-6-compositions-in-the-oriental-style-emile-allain-seguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSamarkande (Plate 6, Compositions in the Oriental Style) - Émile-Allain Séguy — Émile-Allain Séguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-subramanya-equestrian-warrior-architectural-drawing-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Subramanya Equestrian Warrior, Architectural Drawing) - Fine Art Print — Solis Prints\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978172076367,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978413904207,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978413936975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978413969743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978414002511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978414035279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978414068047,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978414100815,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978414133583,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978414166351,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978414199119,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978414231887,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bracelet-with-Lion-Hinges_Poster_CompositorV1_1790883468837.jpg?v=1790884313","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/bracelet-with-lion-hinges-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
