clasp, silver-gilt circular hooked clasp

An incomplete, composite silver-gilt dress-hook, comprising a circular front-plate with seven evenly spaced knops and a central floral motif with eleven oval petals, and a separate domed rivet which holds the front-plate to a flat back-plate. Projecting from the upper edge of the former are the remains of an integral, transverse rectangular loop. The recurving hook is soldered to the back plate opposite the incomplete loop.
