The Dragon coral bracelet is one of the most sought-after forms in antique coral collecting — a rigid bangle carved from a single piece of coral branch, its natural organic shape preserved and celebrated rather than smoothed away. This 18th century example in Mediterranean Orange coral is a collection piece of the highest order: 60 mm in diameter, the beads ranging from 6 × 5 mm to 10 × 9 mm with one magnificent Dragon bead reaching 30 × 11 mm — a bold, sculptural centrepiece that anchors the entire piece. At 30.2 grams, it has a confident, wearable weight, and the single minor chip present is entirely normal for an 18th century piece of this age and character — an honest mark of over 200 years of existence. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
A rare 18th century Mediterranean Orange Dragon coral bracelet — a collection piece of exceptional beauty and historical significance.
