Robert Phillips was one of the leading exponents of jewellery in the revivalist style, but since the above bracelet is not marked it is difficult to make a certain attribution. It could be the work of an Italian craftsman who retailed his work through Phillips Bros. For a ram's head bangle of similar date cf. H.Tait ed. 'The Art of the Jeweller', A Catalogue of the Hull Grundy Gift to the British Museum' (1984) no.958
