A very intruiging pair of buckles from a local estate. These are certainly after the style of William Kerr's famous Art Nouveau Cherub motif.. They are virtually matching although one shows some more wear than the other and one is not marked at all and the other is. They both looking like gold over sterling and were meant to be used as a pair for perhaps a silk belt? In any case, the molding is amazing and the details are a wonder to behold on these small hotsell buckles.
Note that there are losses to the gild on both and one of the cherub faces looking like it has been ground in an area.. (probably someone checking for gold content I would guess at some point) shame.. :(
In any case, these little beauties have survived the years for the most part, and are on offer here at Dougie's Treasures now! :) Please see all photos and THANKS FOR LOOKING!
