    OTTOMAN CUFFS

    Hello Artan;

    I can't really help you with this ID, but why do you think these are Ottoman and not some other nationality like, French or Italian?

    The diplomatic corps or royal service did use patterns and shapes that were pleasing to them as well as ones that echoed their noble pasts. It may be necessary to peruse books of formal service dress and see if a leaf and bullion patterns match somewhat to these. Either that or museums. Visit lots of history museums where the country has displayed their uniforms from their imperial past.

    Dear CLAVDIVS,

    Thank you for your help. I think this pair of cuffs are ottoman (about the end of XIX century), from the general shape, the style and the mode of embroidered. Overall, I find them here in Albania (part of Ottoman Empire during XIX century).

    Regards,

    Artan
