Description
From an estate, complete, original and in beautiful well-preserved condition this is an antique late Victorian to early Edwardian ladies sash belt in excellent condition and complete with its original ornate sterling silver buckle, sterling fittings and original tightly woven Petersham or grosgrain ribbed cloth. It has a fancy lightly engraved monogram. Looks like it was very rarely used as the cloth is in such good shape having only a very thin 1.5″ run near the edge. No tears, wear, tattering or discoloration. All of the sterling silver is also excellent having only light surface age wear. It is from an estate from many decades ago and has not been freshly polished out. No dents, dings, tears or repair. Never altered. Size of the sterling buckle alone is just about 3″ tall North to South by 2″ wide across East to West. The cloth sash is 30″ long by 2″ wide. The cloth and the buckle together measure 31 3/4″ long. This is a lovely original estate find with a large fancy sterling buckle for your antique Victorian collection.
