Here is a antique brass belt buckle with cut steel.Measures just over 4 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide. This buckle has seen better days but it is still an interesting piece for your collection. There is some rust on much of the cut steel. Filigree center with a cut steel flower that is wired onto it.
NOTE: Another Etsian who is more knowledgeable than I has given me the following info:

cut steel was first made in the mid 1700s & reached it's heyday in the late 1700s; became extremely popular during the Victorian era but by then they had developed a way to 'stamp' the designs from sheets instead of the original extremely labor intensive way it began, but hand faceting tiny 'nails/brads' & riveting the nails onto back plates creating beautiful elaborate designs...it was highly sought after & extremely expensive in the late 18c.....your piece is a later perhaps 1910-1940 (can't really tell via pics) design in honor of this type of jewelry...

Please see all the photos for more detail.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
