Hungarian belt

Posted by Joost Daalder on March 6, 2013 at 3:09am
Made of textiles and base metals, including brass (see back of photo) and e.g. pewter in the decorative sections (no silver was used anywhere). It is an early piece, and very satisfying. Here on ethnic jewels howah has a an excellent piece that differs but also shares typical characteristics, as does the belt on Trocadero to which he refers.

    That`s really delicious. How craftsmanship and conception can elevate quite basic materials to form an item that I find absolutely lush!

    Very well put, Frankie! Thank you.

    what is the style of the buckle on this? I love the back of this belt.

    Hi Joost,

     

    The rosettes are very beautiful. I would love to see the buckle too..

    Hi Linda and howah, - I have just posted a photo of the buckle side, and am about to put up another one which gives a side view.

    I have now added a third photo, showing both the rosettes and the buckle. Hope that the three together will provide a reasonable indication. If the two recently posted photos are at all hard to find, please go to my photos: all three images are reasonably close together.
