Vintage Japanese Silver Plate Carved Ivory Peony Buckle
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $3.50 USD
Price for shipping to USA
This beautifully carved real ivory buckle depicts a pair of flowers, a peony and chrysanthemum I believe. The ivory carving is held by a sturdy silver plated buckle mounting. The silver plating is largely worn away. There are no markings but I believe that this is a Japanese made item rather than Chinese. Please note that this ivory predates the current ban on new ivory products.
The buckle weighs 24.4 gr. It measures 1.75" in diameter.
Condition of the carving is good. The silver plating on the setting is very worn. There was no reciprocal hook that came with this buckle.
It is my pleasure to be currently offering up selections from a very fine collection of old buckles. This fine carving in real ivory is representative of the high quality of all the buckles in this collection.
