Victorian sterling silver repousse lady's buckle. Mermaids. buvc543gh

A very detailed buckle depicting mermaids and dragons surrounded by flourishes of silver and bunches of flowers. The mechanism of the buckle is still intact and is ready to be threaded with a wide ribbon; the buckle is as ready to wear today as when it was made over 100 years ago. The metal has a pleasing vintage patina that brings out the intricate detail in the design. Not marked but tests for 925 silver. 5.5 x 3.75 inches
