Antique 18th-Century Shoe Buckle in Silver/Steel, Louis XVI Period

  

Ancient 18th-Century Shoe Buckle, Silver/Steel, Louis XVI Period. A very important shoe buckle in solid silver, tested with the appropriate acid, with a steel clasp.

It appears that 2 stones are set upside down. Some color differences due to the use of foil backing. Otherwise, a very fine museum-quality piece. Dimensions approximately 9 cm by 4.8 cm, with a height of approximately 4.2 cm.
