Description:
This is an antique (not a
reproduction) European silver (
800) tremendous belt and
buckle. The metal work on all
the pieces is so detailed that is
must have taken many months
just to make this. It is all hand
worked. The belt buckle is 4"
long and it looks like it has
Georgian diamonds in it. If you
look close you can see they are
all hand cut and very irregular.
They are not rhinestones. The
belt has 12 arched thick hinged
panels each with an ornate
amount of beautiful metal work.
This looks like it would have
been worn by someone of a
higher class. The buckle has
some strange animals figures on
it and they appear to be in gold.
There are hundreds of tiny metal
pieces carved out of this to
make the raised designs. This is
so much nicer than the photos
and has a lot of weight to it. The
belt is made so it has two hooks
on each end where the belt
buckle attaches. This is in such
great shape too. I only see one
of the 14 stones missing. The
length of the belt is 27". With
the buckle attaches it is 28 ½".
The width is 1 1/3". This is one
of a kind and I doubt you ever
seen another since this is all
hand crafted
