This is an interesting dress accessory which shows how adaptable this type of item is. This originally started out life as a belt buckle, made of silver and fully hallmarked for 1897. At some stage in its life the buckle fittings have been removed from the reverse and it has had dress clip fittings added instead. Presumably this was adapted during the art deco era when dress clips were high fashion.
These would have looked spectacular as they each measures 5 cms long and 4.3 cms wide
