AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Here is an old scarf buckle, round in shape, presented here on a powder pink fabric background. The object is distinguished by a central domed cabochon, deep red in color, with a slightly marbled and translucent appearance, evoking stone or worked glass. The surface of the cabochon presents a brilliant shine, accentuated by the light, and an internal texture effect visible from certain angles.

The visible mounting, encircling the cabochon, has a smooth-looking gilded finish, with regularly marked segments all around the perimeter. This circling reinforces the classic style of the object, while highlighting the contrast between the warm shade of red and the brilliance of the gilding.

The ensemble displays a neat and refined aesthetic, characteristic of period fashion accessories. No markings, logos or inscriptions are visible on the presented face. The object is photographed only from the front, which does not allow for a description of the attachment system or the back.

The general style, combining a colored cabochon and a gilded mounting, evokes vintage or retro accessories, often used to adorn silk or wool scarves, but also as a decorative element on elegant outfits of past decades.

The piece stands out for its sober lines, its intense color and the visual quality of its cabochon. This type of scarf buckle is also called a scarf slide or scarf ring in the expert vocabulary of fashion accessories.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible face shows no major apparent defects; the surface of the cabochon shows a beautiful shine. The other faces are not visible in the photo.

Did you know? Scarf buckles were a very fashionable accessory in mid-20th century women's fashion, allowing a scarf to be held in place while adding a personalized decorative touch. Colored cabochons were often used to mimic fine stones or precious glass in costume jewelry.
