Lot of 2 vintage silver-plated openwork buckle with blue cabochon

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes two vintage-style belt buckles, visible side-by-side in the photo. Each buckle features a square shape with rounded corners and an openwork fantasy-inspired design, with finely carved floral and geometric patterns. The center of each buckle is adorned with a round turquoise blue cabochon, highlighted by a beaded surround that elegantly contrasts with the silver finish of the visible metal.

The surface of each buckle has a worked relief appearance, with symmetrical patterns evoking interlaces or arabesques. The outer contour is outlined by a regular border punctuated with small raised dots, reinforcing the decorative effect and the overall structure. The visible part also shows a lateral attachment on each buckle, suggesting their function as a clasp or a decorative element for a belt or clothing.

The set displays a matte silver finish, typical of silver plating mentioned in the keywords, associated with a deliberately aged patina that accentuates the contrast between the dark backgrounds and the silver reliefs. The smooth, central blue cabochon adds a touch of vivid color and immediately draws the eye, enhancing the ornamental aspect of these pieces.

The general style evokes a bohemian or orientalist inspiration, characteristic of fantasy accessories from past decades. The openwork details and symmetrical patterns recall certain ethnic jewelry or fashion accessories from the 70s-80s, although precise dating cannot be assured solely from the image.

The photo only shows the front face of the two buckles, with no indication of the back or the complete fastening system. Only the decorative elements and the lateral attachments are visible and described here.
