CZECH RED & SILVER ART DECO BELT BUCKLE

People say to me that they cannot sew and therefore cannot make a belt to go with a vintage or Art Deco belt buckle.  Perhaps you can find a vintage belt at a Charity Shop that measures about 1/2 inch wide - in maybe a suede or soft leather.  Cut off the old buckle and it is simple to sew it on to a vintage belt.  Or use it as a clasp for a cloak or jacket.  I have even seen them used as clasps for a multistrand necklace.  This on is in a red and silver clasp and is marked 'Made in Cechoslovakia' - a more unusual spelling.  Price £40 ref: 3210 D2/17

ART DECO GLASS BELT BUCKLE - DECO GREEN & SILVER

Back to Art Deco today - which I love.  This is an Art Deco glass belt buckle in a Deco green colour with silver.  In the Art Deco period many of the dresses worn were made by dressmakers - or at home.  Even in the 1950s when I was young - if you were going anywhere special you might have a dressmaker make you a dress. You would choose the material, the buttons and the belt buckle.  This one would take a belt width of about 4/5ths of an inch - or 2 cm.  It is so easy to sew on to any belt.  You could even try going to a charity shop and finding one, cutting off the modern buckle and sewing on this one.  Often these are sold in my shop for films, plays etc.  Ref: 3132 C76/10 price £55
