19th Century South American Colonial Silver and Leather Belt – Framed

About the Item

"19th Century South American Colonial Silver and Leather Belt – Framed (Bolivia)" Origin: Bolivia Date: 19th Century Materials: Hand-worked leather, embossed and cast silver mounts Dimensions: Frame: 135 x 26 x 10 cm Belt (unframed): 115 x 7 x 3 cm Description: An exceptional 19th-century South American colonial belt, made in Bolivia, composed of richly worked leather and adorned with intricate silver mounts, including domed studs, chased plaques, and hanging ornaments. This piece is a fine example of colonial mestizo craftsmanship, where indigenous and Spanish traditions merge to create highly decorative and symbolic objects. The belt is elegantly preserved and presented in a custom-made trapezoidal frame, enhancing its visual impact and historical significance. Belts of this type were often part of ceremonial attire or served as status symbols for local elites and military figures in the Andean region. Condition: Excellent antique condition. The leather shows a natural patina and signs of age; the silverwork retains beautiful details, with slight tarnishing. Professionally framed for preservation and presentation.
