| | 60's Leather & Brass Belt 
| This breathtaking vintage belt was most likely made in Morocco...although this one bears no stamp or other markings...I have seen similar ones that were in fact made in the land of Caftans and long flowing peasant dresses. When I look at this belt, I immediately think of some rich spoiled rotten aristocrats daughter...sulking on some mountain top...as her billowing silk robes flutter in the wind...as she poses...sulking shamelessly and wishing Daddy understood her...and wondering if her friends really like her for "Her" or just her millions...all I can think of as I watch from a far enough , yet close enough distance is..." Where the Hell did she get that BELT? and can I get one !" That's one of the reasons I love Vintage items as much as I do...because they often carry one off to far away places and long ago times...as we wistfully wonder...Who wore this and what stories this piece could tell...if only it could speak ! Back to the belt...done in a rich buttery brown leather...actually several pieces of leather fastened together with stunning brass hardware. The piece is in Excellent condition...the brass having a beautiful aged patina to it...the construction is quite unique and has an almost Egyptian flavor as well as the Moroccan fell to it. The back closes with a simple brass hook and the piece gradually widens towards the middle of the belt. It is not adjustable at all and is meant to rest on the wearers waist...it will naturally fall lower or higher depending on your waist measurements. It measures approximately 35" in diameter and at it's widest point is 2 1/4" wide. Simply Divine ! Item: Leather Belt w/Tons of Brass Hardware price $165 Buy Now |
