This pair of vintage Alfred Dunhill cufflinks is crafted in sterling silver and hallmarked at London for 2001. Each cufflink is formed as a double-sided oval, with one face left plain and polished and the other carrying a feature display of hallmarks. The result is a design that is both restrained and quietly distinctive, combining a formal engraved surface with the appeal of visible silver marks arranged as part of the object’s character.

The polished oval measures approximately 19mm by 13mm and around 2mm thick, giving the pair a well-balanced, substantial presence without excess weight. The plain face has been left intentionally clean, making it particularly suitable for engraving, while the opposite oval presents the London hallmark sequence in a deliberate and attractive format. Those marks comprise the AD sponsor’s mark for Alfred Dunhill, the 925 standard mark for sterling silver, the lion passant, and the date letter b for 2001. The cufflinks are also signed dunhill to the reverse.

This use of visible hallmarks is especially appealing. Rather than hiding the marks discreetly away, Dunhill allowed them to become part of the visual language of the cufflinks themselves. That gives the pair a stronger sense of material honesty and silver identity, while still preserving the disciplined formal style associated with Dunhill men’s accessories. The plain engraved face and the hallmarked face work well together, one reserved and personal, the other documentary and decorative in a distinctly understated way.

The two ovals of each cufflink are connected by elongated oval link chains measuring approximately 24mm in length. This slightly longer chain gives the cufflinks a relaxed but traditional movement on the cuff, reinforcing their classic formal character. The overall design is clean and architectural, with no unnecessary ornament beyond the feature hallmarks themselves.

We have professionally cleaned and polished the cufflinks so that they present in great vintage condition. The visible faces are bright and crisp, while the backs have been left bright but naturally vintage, retaining some light signs of age consistent with careful use. They are supplied without original Dunhill packaging and will instead be presented in a plain cufflink gift and storage pouch.
