Title: Antique Anglo-Indian Silver Belt Buckle c.1900
Description: Antique Anglo-Indian Silver Belt Buckle c.1900
A decorative late 19th to early 20th century
Anglo-Indian silver belt buckle, cast in two interlocking parts with finely detailed repoussé and pierced work throughout.
The design features a pair of opposing mounted warriors in stylised armour, each riding a galloping horse within a richly worked landscape of palm trees, birds, and floral motifs.
Of unmarked silver or silvered white metal over a copper-based alloy, with traces of green oxidation to the lower edge and reverse, consistent with age.
The clasp mechanism is intact and functional.
To the reverse is a scratched or engraved name, Angela Darkin, suggesting this may have been a personalised accessory, perhaps for a nurse or lady in uniform during the late Victorian or Edwardian period.
Likely of Indian or Burmese origin, produced during the British colonial period for domestic use or export.
