From the History of Belt Buckles

Throughout history, belts and their buckles were not just practical items for holding up clothing. From antiquity, through the Early Middle Ages among Germanic tribes, to the High Renaissance, an ornate belt buckle was primarily a symbol of social status, wealth, and power. Magnificent buckles made of precious metals, decorated with engravings or gems, were worn by nobility and high-ranking dignitaries. For a knight, the sword belt was one of the most important symbols of his station, presented to him during his knighting ceremony (the accolade).

An Interesting Fact

In some periods of the Middle Ages and the early modern era, there were even so-called "sumptuary laws." These laws dictated precisely who was allowed to wear certain materials and decorations. A common citizen could not afford to wear a gold or silver buckle, even if they had the money for it—it was reserved exclusively for the highest classes. Your brass buckle, therefore, perfectly imitates the appearance of an accessory that a wealthy merchant or a member of the lower nobility could have afforded.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your buckle beautiful and ensure its longevity, give it a little care. The patina is intentional and gives the buckle its character, so do not try to remove it.

• Cleaning: To remove dust and dirt, use only a soft, dry cloth. For heavier soiling, you can lightly dampen the cloth with clean water and then immediately dry the buckle thoroughly.
• Storage: When you're not wearing the belt, store it in a dry place to prevent unnecessary oxidation.
• What to Avoid: You should absolutely avoid using any chemical cleaners, metal polishes, or abrasive materials (like scouring pads or steel wool). These products would permanently damage the patina and scratch the buckle's surface.
