An exceptional fine sterling silver 19th century hand made buckle. The buckle has a shell motif design popular in the Victorian era. This fine buckle has been entirely hand made and dates to the 1880s. It is of grand proportions and is in excellent condition.

It measures 8 5/16" wide by 4 1/16" high (211mm x 104mm). In total it weighs 192 grams of solid sterling silver.

This is a one of a kind item custom made during the Victorian era and is iconic of the time. It's so easy to imagine this being worn in the day with a corseted waist as an amazing feature.

It is a very wearable antique buckle today. A leather belt can easily be fitted to this piece to secure at the reverse.
