Limoges Style Belt Buckle – 12th-13th Century

Authentic Detail for Your Costume

While commoners wore simple iron fittings, the nobility displayed their wealth through ornate accessories. This D-shaped buckle is cast with precision and features a flat back for a comfortable fit against your garb. Available in two finishes to match your ensemble: solid Brass for a rich, golden look, or Silver-plated for a sleek, noble appearance. Perfect for:

• Historical Re-enactment: Ideal for knights, nobles, or wealthy merchants from the 1100s to 1200s.
• LARP & SCA: A sturdy and stylish choice for finishing a sword belt or a pouch strap.
• Leatherworking: An excellent piece of hardware for crafting custom period belts.

Installation

This buckle is designed to fit a strap width of approximately 30 mm (1.2 inches). To attach it, simply fold the thinned end of your leather strap over the buckle bar and secure it by sewing with waxed thread or using period-appropriate rivets. Ensure you punch a hole for the pin to pass through comfortably.

Maintenance

To keep your buckle looking its best, wipe it down with a dry cloth after use to remove moisture and oils. The brass version can be polished with standard metal polish if a bright shine is desired. For the silver-plated version, use a soft silver polishing cloth gently to preserve the plating.
