Christian Dior Leather Belt with Gold-Tone Sultan in Turban and Rams Head Buckle

About the Item

Fabulously fantastic vintage 1960s-1970s white leather belt with turbaned sultan and ram's head dangle ornament buckle. This belt is in wonderful vintage condition. This is such an incredible Christian Dior belt! The belt itself is beautiful white 2 1/2 inch wide leather which is self-lined in white leather with the gold Christian Dior signature and 1412 stamped on the inside. The belt is adjustable with the largest adjustment being 30 inches. Then, there is the buckle. Oh! The buckle. It is grand! Made up of a gold-tone rectangle with rope edging and a textured back with a moustached Sultan in a turban with an earring mounted in the center. Then there is a gold-tone ram's head with the body of a serpent (or fish) mounted on a heavy solid chain circle which is then attached to the bottom of the rectangle as a dangling ornament. The rectangle is 2 inches by 3 inches and the ram circle is 2 inches in diameter. The overall height of the buckle with the dangle is 5.5 inches. I have seen two other buckles similar and they both had rhinestones. I do see mounting places where rhinestones could be on this buckle but no glue residue; so, in my opinion, I do not believe this particular rendition of the buckle ever had rhinestones. It looks natural not to have them. And, again, in my opinion, much better without! I also believe it to be from the 1960-1970s. This Christian Dior belt is in wonderful vintage condition. The leather shows some wear as would be expected but the buckle is in perfect shape. This outstanding vintage find should be yours! Belt: Longest wearable length: 30 inches. Leather width: 2.5 inches. Buckle: Width: 2 inches. Length: 5.5 inches. O/A weight: under 1 pound.

  • Leather Belt with Large Sterling Buckles Graziella Laffi
    By Graziella Laffi
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A wide leather belt with large sterling silver buckle crafted by Graziella Laffi, Lima, Peru, circa 1960-70s. The bespoken sculptural silver buckle features a biomorphic motif rooted in pre-Columbian culture. Marked: PERU, 950. The buck measures 5.75 x 5 x 2 inches and weighs about 126 grams (4.0511 troy ounces). The detachable belt consists of two parts is adjustable from approximately 33 inches to 36 inches. Graziella Laffi was born in 1923 in Florence, Italy to Gino Laffi, a silversmith and artist. Following her family tradition, Graziella enrolled in master classes after elementary school, focusing on design and painting. She next attended Escuela de Bellas Artes de Puerta Romana for three years, where Gino taught, and then to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where she concentrated in architecture until the start of World War II. In 1947, Graziella, then twenty-four, immigrated with her parents to Peru. Gino later created a silversmith studio and showroom called Fabrica Laffi on Avenue Mexico, where Graziella initially learned her Craft. The Pre-Columbian culture in her adopted country inspired Graziella to travel and collect, which ultimately influence her design in the silver pieces. Graziella learned the metalworking techniques of the ancient Peruvian civilizations and rejected the current technology. She mostly used hammering, rolling and creating joints as the ancients do. As an ambassador of Peruvian culture, her work promoted the indigenous Peruvian art and rekindled the interest in its ancient heritage throughout South America, the United States and Europe. She exhibited her growing collection of Peruvian artifacts...
