Description

Step into the past with this Antique Brass Medieval Belt Buckle, a faithful tribute to the decorative yet rugged fittings used across Europe from the 14th to 16th centuries. Crafted from solid brass and finished in a soft, timeworn patina, this buckle balances visual appeal with everyday usability—making it a standout choice for historical gear or quality leatherwork.

The intricate openwork design, complete with flowing Gothic contours and scalloped edges, reflects the artistic sensibilities of the late medieval and Renaissance periods.
