These vintage Links of London sterling silver cufflinks take the form of stylised fish, handled with the lively sculptural character that suited the house’s earlier gentleman’s accessories especially well. Each cufflink is formed from two matching fish elements, one at the front and one at the back, joined by a short oval link chain so that the design reads clearly from either side of the cuff. The result is playful in subject, yet still properly executed as a formal silver accessory.
Each fish measures approximately 20mm in length, 12mm in height and around 3mm in thickness. The proportions give the pair a clear presence without becoming oversized. The fish fronts and backs are connected by oval link chains measuring approximately 20mm in length, allowing the cufflinks to move naturally and sit comfortably when worn. The chain fitting also reinforces their earlier Links of London character, giving them a more traditional and slightly more animated feel than a rigid bar fitting.
The reverse of the fish is hallmarked LL and 925 and carries a date letter for 1993. That places the pair firmly within the early period of the original Links of London house, making them particularly appealing as archive cufflinks as well as wearable sterling silver pieces. The use of full British hallmarking also gives them the reassuring substance and legitimacy expected of vintage Links of London silver.
This pair has been professionally cleaned and polished and is now presented in great vintage condition. The fish retain a bright silver finish and the sculpted scale and fin details remain crisp. They are supplied with the original Links of London box. The box is in poor vintage condition, not through wear or use but through age, with the adhesive beginning to fail so that interior parts are coming loose. It could be reglued if desired, but it has been left in completely original unrestored condition.
As cufflinks, they sit in that distinctive Links of London territory where wit, craftsmanship and collectability overlap. The fish motif gives them individuality, while the sterling silver construction, chain-link fitting and early 1993 hallmarking keep the pair grounded as serious vintage gentleman’s accessories. They are particularly well suited to collectors of early Links of London, lovers of sporting or river-inspired silver, and anyone drawn to cufflinks with more character than a plain formal pair.
