Two handsome belt or sash buckles from the late 19th or early 20th century (ABJ)

CONDITION: good vintage condition with signs of wear and use.

APPROXIMATE DATE: 1890s – 1900s Germany

MATERIALS: metal

DESCRIPTION:

Here is a handsome pair of belt or sash buckles made the biedermeier style popular with the bourgeoisie in Germany and Austria, and the Scandinavian countries. One is a single example and the other a two part, both made in gilded and repoussé brass with a formalised floral theme. They were manufactured in Germany and date from around the turn of the 20th century.

Single buckle measures 2 x 2½ ins (5 x 6 cm)

Two part buckle measures 2½ x 3 ins (6 x 7.5 cm)

These lovely ornaments are part of a large private collection of belt or sash buckles currently in my shop. Other examples from the collection, attached to original shop display cards, can be found in the final photograph. These items all show classic Art Nouveau or early 20th century decorative motifs. They are of good quality and sturdy construction, not later copies.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

These pretty ornaments are in wearable condition and would suit collectors, re-enactors or anyone interested in recreating the look of the early 20th century.

Buckles can be worn as a clasp at the neckline of a plain jacket, dress or sweater to turn it into a dressier outfit. Single buckles also be mounted upon fabric and worn as a choker or sew on dress ornaments.
