Antique Victorian French 18K Yellow Gold & Silver Black Enamel Oval Belt Buckle
About the Item
A Victorian black enamel, yellow gold, and silver belt buckle, comprising one yellow gold oval panel, adorned with black enamel, with silver buckle mechanism.
This striking Victorian buckle would have been used to fasten a belt at the waist, enhancing the narrow waist which was fashionable during the Victorian era. The buckle is formed as a yellow gold oval, adorned with a foliate Greek Key motif, picked out in black enamel. To the ancient Greeks the Greek Key symbolised infinity and the ‘eternal motion of things’, and as a result was often used in mourning jewellery. The buckle is complete with two sets of teeth, hinged to allow them to move independently of one another, to allow for simple and secure fastening of a belt. Today, this piece could still be worn as a belt buckle or could even be added as an adornment to a necklace, or choker or bracelet, using a piece of ribbon. The buckle is in excellent condition, with very minimal wear to the enamel. Wear and tear acquiescent with age.
The buckle measures 47.5mm long, 25mm wide, and 5mm deep (excluding fittings). The opening at the centre of the buckle measures 34.8mm long, and 13.8mm wide.
