Vintage 1946 Charles Horner Silver Buckle Bangle Bracelet
Description
A beautiful example of mid-20th-century British silver design, this wide silver bangle by renowned maker Charles Horner blends craftsmanship and subtle symbolism. The piece features a classic buckle motif, finely engraved with a repeating wave and crosshatch pattern, embodying Horner’s precise, elegant style.
The buckle design was long associated with loyalty, strength, and enduring love — a sentiment carried through from the Victorian and Edwardian eras into post-war jewellery. This example, hallmarked for Chester, 1946, shows the continuation of traditional motifs reinterpreted with modern simplicity and refined proportion.
Charles Horner was among England’s most respected silversmiths, celebrated for his clean lines and wearable, finely engineered designs. His post-war silverwork reflected a quiet sophistication — timeless, tactile, and unmistakably British.
