Cartier, a refined mid-20th century tie bar clip executed in warm-toned 14k yellow gold, designed in an understated, architectural form that emphasizes line, proportion, and discreet luxury. The piece is constructed as a long, flat-faced bar with crisp planar edges and a gently rounded terminal that folds back into a tension clip, allowing the front blade to sit cleanly across a necktie while the sprung reverse arm secures to the shirt placket for a stable, low-profile fit. The polished exterior presents a restrained, satin-like glow from age and handling, while the interior retains a brighter finish and clearly struck maker’s marks, including CARTIER and 14K, accompanied by a stamped or engraved inventory/serial number that reads as 16901 in the close-up images. The use of 14k gold and the straightforward hallmarking are consistent with Cartier production for the American market, aligning the object with the brand’s classic “quiet” accessories of the period—pieces intended to read as impeccably made rather than overtly ornamented, and to complement tailored menswear with a precise, elegant accent. Weight is noted at 3.5 grams.
