All the way back in 2009 I had a fortuitous meeting with sculptress Marcela Ganly whose body of work focuses predominantly on the animal world. However, our mutual passion for belts inspired us to try and adapt her wonderful sculpting skills and our design experience to suit the rather smaller format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later we came up with our first collection of bronze and Silver Plated buckles, each one limited edition signed and numbered. We have since come up with newer styles and this roaring tiger buckle is one of those - the face detailing has the most wonderful 3 dimensional feel as if the tiger has come to life is really pushing out from the surface of the buckle. It makes for a statement buckle that will always draw admiring looks and truly looks like a work of art. Please note that these buckles are handcast from wax and hand finished - no two buckles will ever look or be quite the same so please understand that there will likely be colour/patina variances from the image shown
How it's made |
Buckle making remains a remarkably traditional skill with most of our designs initially crafted by hand in wax before being melted away to create a mould from which we can cast your buckle. Once cast the buckle is then sent away for the galvanic process which gives it its colour and then any additional details such as enamel or crystals are applied by hand. Whether being made in Italy, France, Mexico, USA or the UK the techniques used remain the same. |
