Medieval Brass Pointed Spectacle Buckles (for 17mm Straps), 1350-1700, Set of 5
Are you searching for that perfect detail to elevate your historical costume? With this set of five brass buckles, you'll get exactly what you need. Their design faithfully replicates the style popular in the 14th and 15th centuries, when sharper, more angular shapes became fashionable. Each buckle is precisely cast from solid brass, and its unique shape—a combination of a rounded and a pointed loop—will give your belt, shoes, bag, or armour an unmistakable touch of authenticity. The set is available in two finishes: highly polished for a lustrous look, or with an antique patina for the feel of a time-worn piece. Further product information ...

Pointed Spectacle Buckle, 14th-15th Century, for 15mm Straps, Set of 5
A Detail from the Age of Knights and Tournaments
This type of buckle is characteristic of the late medieval period. Its asymmetrical yet balanced design reflects the Gothic aesthetic and its fondness for angular lines. It was not merely an ornament; it was a highly functional component of both everyday and military attire. Archaeological finds confirm their widespread use on:
- Straps for fastening pieces of plate armour
- Narrow belts worn over tunics and doublets
- Fastenings on medieval footwear and greaves
- Straps on bags, pouches, and quivers
- Baldrics for carrying swords and falchions
Thanks to this set, you can easily replace modern buckles and add historical accuracy to your gear, whether you're preparing for a battle, a LARP event, or a historical market.
Easy Installation for a Perfect Look
Attaching the buckle to a strap is very simple:
- At one end of the leather strap (maximum width 15 mm), make a hole for the buckle's tongue.
- Fold the end of the strap over the central bar of the buckle.
- Secure the folded end firmly to the strap using a few stitches of strong thread or one or two rivets.
- On the other, free end of the strap, punch holes for fastening as required. You're all done!

Caring for Your Brass Buckles
To keep your buckles beautiful, just follow a few simple rules. Occasionally polish the polished version with a soft cloth and a little brass polish. For the patinated version, avoid polishing to preserve the antique look; a wipe with a dry cloth will suffice.
What to Avoid
Protect the buckles from prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh chemicals. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaners. Although the buckles are made of solid metal, they are not intended for use in situations involving extreme loads.
