Vintage Links of London Sterling Silver Gardening Chain Cufflinks 1998

These vintage Links of London cufflinks take a playful but well-made approach to gentleman’s accessories, pairing a miniature watering can with a garden trowel in sterling silver. Connected by oval link chains, the design has movement and character while still retaining the practical ease of traditional chain cufflinks.

The watering cans measure approximately 20mm wide, 13mm high and 7mm thick. Each is formed with a curved handle, hinged-style lid detail and pierced sprinkler head, giving the design a recognisable and properly sculptural form. The trowels measure approximately 25mm long and 6mm wide, providing a neat visual counterpoint to the fuller watering can motif.

Hallmarked LL, 925 with a date letter for 1998, this pair belongs to the earlier period of Links of London design, when the house often translated everyday objects and English themes into small silver accessories with wit and clarity. Here, the gardening subject matter is handled with restraint, giving the cufflinks a distinctive identity without losing their wearability.

The cufflinks have been professionally cleaned and polished and remain in great vintage condition. They are supplied in a Hamilton & Inches, Edinburgh box, reflecting original retail provenance through one of Scotland’s best-known luxury jewellers. The box adds useful presentation value and reinforces the period character of the set.
