Floral Filigree Belt Appraisal

Vintage-Style Ornate Floral Filigree Metal Stretch Belt

This is a highly decorative women's waist belt featuring a flexible, expandable metal construction. The belt is composed of numerous overlapping, scalloped metal scales or 'links' with intricate openwork filigree patterns, finished in an antiqued silver-tone or pewter-look metal. The central focal point is a large, rectangular-shaped buckle plate adorned with a three-dimensional floral motif. This motif includes enameled flowers in shades of lavender, pink, and burgundy, accompanied by green enameled leaves and accented with small, inset clear rhinestones or crystals for added sparkle. The craftsmanship exhibits a vintage-inspired or Victorian-revival aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 2000s. Physically, the belt shows a dark patina consistent with antiqued finishes, though some wear to the enamel on the flower petals is visible upon close inspection. The elastic tension within the articulated links appears intact. No visible maker’s marks are present in the provided view, but the complexity of the molded metal and enamel work indicates a high-quality fashion accessory or boutique piece. It measures approximately 2 to 3 inches in width at the buckle and is designed to sit at the natural waist.
