  • Fantastic buckle, of a type I have not seen before.  I love the looping filigree background underneath the bosses, it puts me in mind of spiderwebs or barren tree branches.

  • Thanx Lynn..it's a beautiful piece and the casting is very well done ...

    Did u get my email ??

  • Dear Angelo. Another beautiful image. The details of the buckle are so clear. It jumps from the page.

  • Very beautifully designed and made, as many of these are - but this is a very good one indeed.

  • Your antique iPhone takes fabulous pics! 

    BTW, this buckle is absolutely gorgeous - the filigree work looks like the vines of some plant creeping up between the domes. You can almost see them grow. A kind of "Sleeping Beauty" jewel.
