This nineteenth-century belt buckle is designed in the Caucasian traditional style and follows a maximalist wonderland vibe. The piece consists of silver and vitreous enamel, displaying a turquoise and silver colour scheme with polychrome details in navy, white, and green. The surface features intricate cloisonne enamel, filigree wirework, and floral scrollwork, alongside a small dagger-shaped fastening pin acting as the secure closure. Two unidentified markings sit on the body, which contains fittings for attaching belt fabric. The physical dimensions measure 7.5 cm high, 12.5 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. In a modern home, this decorative object serves well for display or as a historical collection piece, while also functioning as an accessory to adorn a haute couture gown.

FAQs

A cloisonne enamel belt buckle is a decorative dress fastening created by soldering fine metal wires onto a metal base to form compartments, which are filled with coloured enamel paste and fired at high temperatures.

These clasps are typically crafted from sterling or high-grade silver, incorporating vitreous enamel in multiple colours, intricate filigree wirework, and occasionally a functional dagger-shaped fastening pin attached via a safety chain.

Authentication relies on examining silver hallmarks, assessing the depth and hand-applied variation of the vitreous enamel, checking for hand-twisted filigree, and confirming historical construction methods such as pinned or hook closures.

An antique enamel buckle can be mounted onto a bespoke modern leather or silk belt, worn as a focal accessory for formalwear, or displayed within a shadow box frame as a decorative textile artifact.

Preserve enamel pieces by wiping gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes, ultrasonic cleaners, or water exposure that could compromise the delicate enamel or tarnish hard-to-reach filigree detailing.
