Antique Silver Cameo Belt with Thistles
Here is a wonderful Antique Belt featuring a beautiful hand carved cameo surrounded by a Scottish Thistle Motif. This belt buckle is crafted from Sterling Silver and is fully hallmarked for Sheffield, Joseph Rodgers & Sons, 1900 with an engraving on the back dated 1905 that reads "Many Happy Returns." The belt features beautifully hand detailed Thistle Motifs with an Art Nouveau Scrolling openwork Pattern. There is a small fracture on one of the scrolls, however it is very secure (see last photo). The belt is on a Brown grosgrain ribbon that has been visible hand sewn. You could easily put this on a ribbon of your choice and wear it! This fantastic late Victorian Belt buckle will make an excellent addition to any vintage clothing collection.
