SOLD A superb antique 17th -19th century Hungarian – Polish Nobleman's silver-gilt mounted sword belt, made in the characteristic Transylvanian manner of belts  More »

SOLD A superb antique 17th -19th century Hungarian – Polish Nobleman's silver-gilt mounted sword belt, made in the characteristic Transylvanian manner of belts produced in Hermannstadt - Nagyszeben, present-day Romanian city Sibiu, which was an important goldsmith center, and the producer of weapons and military equipment, not only for Hungary, but also for Central and Eastern Europe. Many of these types of Transylvanian belts were exported to the Kingdom of Poland due to the fact that the costumes and weapons of Hungarian Nobleman were similar to the Polish Nobleman's. Because the belts from Transylvania were very expensive, these types of belts were frequently copied by Polish craftsmen, so sometimes it is difficult to determine if a belt is an actual Transylvanian product, or made in Poland, but in the Transylvanian style.

In the Ukrainian museums in Lwow these types of belts are described as Ukrainian belts.

Both buckles fully hallmarked on the back with assay office mark and with the silversmith mark. The belt is made of leather with the exterior covered with beige fabric finely embroidered with floral design in silver-wrapped thread with roped border. The back of the belt is finished with a blue velvet lining. CONDITION: The belt is overall in good condition showing its age and usage, some wear and loss to silver embroidery and roped border, the blue velvet lining has some holes. MEASUREMENTS: Overall length including chain: 114.3 cm (45 inches). Overall length without the chain: 132 cm (52 inches). Width: 4.8 cm (1 7/8 in).
