EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four exquisite belts from the 17th to the 19th century, displaying a stunning array of craftsmanship and opulence. The top belt, believed to be from Transylvania in the 18th century, is composed of silver-gilt segments adorned with intricate openwork foliage and table-cut garnets. It features a central cartouche suspending three pear-shaped drops, two set with garnets and one with a baroque pearl. The second belt from the top is an exceptional silver-gilt buckle created by Georgius Hossman in Nagyszeben during the late 17th century. Its curved panels are embellished with baroque pearls and cabochon garnets, joined by a rosette adorned with turquoises and more pearls. A section of velvet attached to one side displays enamel flowerheads set with turquoises, pearls, and redstones. The third belt is another remarkable piece likely originating from Transylvania around 1700. Composed of seventeen square links decorated with openwork scrolls and centered moonstones surrounded by vibrant gemstones such as garnets, pink sapphires, and emeralds. Lastly, we have an extraordinary gold belt crafted in Budapest circa 1825. This masterpiece consists of oval links adorned with champleve enamel mounts and collet-set emeralds while six square silver-gilt segments feature cloisonne enamel designs accented by filigree work and pink stones. Each half terminates in shield-shaped segments decorated with enamel foliage set with rubies and emeralds. These four belts represent not only Hungarian artistry but also epitomize luxury through their use of precious metals like silver gilt or gold along with intricate enameling techniques combined harmoniously for timeless elegance.
