Description: | A large shoe buckle of the type made popular by the Comte d'Artois in the late 18th century. The buckle appears to be made of cut steel which is heavily corroded. The front has probably been japanned which appears to have protected it from corrosion to some extent. The frame is decorated with two large grooves running completely around the frame, separated by wide flat topped bands. The outer band is divided by a narrow grove. At the centre of each side is an oval design comprising two rings pellets surrounding a central oval pellet. A partial, corroded, steel spindle remains in place. The spindle is complete but the tongue/pin and two internal bars have broken off.
