Collection of English Bronze Buckles, circa 1500 - 1600

Collection of Bronze Buckles, England, Tudor Era circa 1500 - 1600.
A superb intact group comprising 4 cast copper alloy bronze spectacle belt buckles. Largest buckle measuring 3cm x 4cm. These beautiful relics showcase a rich green patination and light earthly encrustations on the bronze, testament to the objects’ prolonged burial underground prior to excavation.

Provenance: Excavated in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. Ex Private London Collection.

Reference: Many attribution records can be referenced to pinpoint the years this style of double-loop buckle was in use. We recommend reading Weiner-Gozen's Blog Page "Double Loop Buckles".
