Rare Large Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Fantasy Buckle Cherub

Description

Offering a rare Art Nouveau sterling silver cherub buckle. Created late 19th century.
This wonderful large one piece buckle features a central cherub face amidst curlicue, floral and acanthus leaf decoration. Having a curved body, it possesses all the qualities of Unger Bros. and Kerr. Marked, sterling, 147.
Measuring: 3 5/8” Tall, 2 7/8” Wide.
The condition is excellent. Only a minuscule touch to the nose and one end of the buckle portion is disconnected. All else is perfect and the patina is about the best I’ve seen.
