Description
This high-quality handmade reproduction of the classic Victorian clasping hands belt buckle is crafted using the lost wax casting method in a small workshop in the UK. It is available in yellow bronze. The original master is a Victorian revival design from the 1970s, recast from an earlier Victorian style.
Each piece is cast separately, from an original master and some minor imperfections are to be expected. However, that is part of the charm of handmade items.
The hands clasp together using a pin-and-hole mechanism for a secure fastening. Each hand features an open-ended loop for attaching to a belt. Please note that this listing is for the belt buckle only; it is interchangeable with any suitable strap. The space for the belt is 4.5 cm wide, and the clasped hands measure 24.5 cm (9.5 inches), so please keep this in mind when selecting a suitable belt strap.
If you need assistance with belt options, feel free to email me. I am collaborating with a leather and suede crafter to offer bespoke belt options.
The made-to-order belt buckles have a lead time of 12 weeks.
Dimensions and Weight
Each hand measures:
The entire buckle weighs 300g.
Composition and Allergies
Each buckle has been sealed with a metal wax to avoid irritation, but please review the belt buckle composition, with any allergies in mind.
Yellow Bronze
An alloy is 92% copper with minor constituents of tin and zinc.
