Art Nouveau Style Belt Buckle Profile Half Woman Black Disc Silver Tone Relief

Around 1900, Art Nouveau designers loved the idealized woman in profile, framed by flowers and flowing scrollwork, and buckles and clasps were a favorite place to carry that look. This round black buckle half, set with a silver-tone relief of a lady in a headscarf holding a bouquet, has that same romantic feel. It would suit collectors of Art Nouveau-style accessories, costume and sewing notions, or a crafter who wants a statement closure for a sash, cape or belt project.
