French ivory and red whaleback cufflinks

Never used French 1930s whaleback cufflinks featuring carnelian red and pearlised ivory lucite panels in a decorative gilt frame. The sides of the whaleback links are engraved with tiny circles – a lovely feature – whilst the retainer is a simple torpedo shape. The faces measure 19 mm x 11 mm.

These cufflinks were part of a recently-discovered collection of unused stock from an old shop in France that closed down, probably during WW2.
