About the Item
This ornate silver shawl buckle is a beautifully crafted accessory, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It features an elaborate Rococo or Baroque Revival design, characterized by scrollwork, beaded detailing, and stylized floral motifs. The symmetrical fleur-de-lis-inspired elements on each side are gracefully connected by a central hinge, allowing flexibility when worn as a fastening for a traditional shawl or cloak.
This type of silver filigree and repoussé shawl clasp was commonly used in Northern and Central Europe, particularly in the Netherlands, Scandinavia, or Germany, where regional folk costume jewelry included such decorative fastenings for cloaks, shawls, or dresses.
In the Netherlands, traditional silver jewelry from Friesland and other northern provinces often featured floral and scrolling motifs in buckles, bodice clasps, and belt ornaments, similar to this piece.
The bold, symmetrical ornamentation and decorative flourish details suggest this piece was influenced by Baroque or Rococo Revival trends, popular in Victorian and Art Nouveau-era silverwork.
This shawl buckle could be worn as a decorative and functional fastening for a traditional costume or formal attire. It was designed to secure a shawl, cape, or bodice, often paired with regional folk dress or ceremonial clothing. The small loops at the edges can be sew onto fabric or attached with a fastening mechanism.
