Line VAUTRIN (1913–1997) – Rare bronze belt buckle with plant and floral motifs, circa 1940–1950

Material and technique: Stamped and chiseled bronze featuring an original, nuanced patina with beautiful golden and coppery highlights.
Decoration: A symmetrical motif cut in the shape of butterfly wings, richly chiseled with foliage scrolls and flowers. Each element is centered on an openwork rosette in relief.
Closure: Central hinged clasp with a slide, characteristic of the artist’s jewelry and fashion accessory designs.
Condition: Excellent condition for its age. Beautiful, well-preserved antique patina, having undergone no alteration or harsh cleaning.
