Two muses caught mid-reverie, one gazing dreamily into a hand mirror, the other absorbed in the pages of a book. This large, lyrical silver buckle channels the ethereal femininity of the Art Nouveau era, each figure framed by swirling floral tendrils and sculpted blossoms. Though created nearly a century later, in 1984, it captures with remarkable fidelity the spirit of the fin-de-siècle: introspective, sensual, and richly ornamental.

Fully hallmarked for London, 1984, this fabulous buckle measures 105 mm across and 48.5 mm high, with a satisfying weight of 51.44 grams. The hallmarks include the lion passant for sterling, the leopard’s head for London, date letter "K," and the maker’s mark DEB. The two halves are carefully joined at the center, forming a dramatic, wearable tableau.

An evocative treasure for admirers of literature, art, and ornament, it carries the scent of wild poppies, unread letters, and the soft hush of turning pages..
