Beautiful, ornate electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) belt circa 1900s. I have seen these often referred to as "nurse's belts" though I have not personally been able to find the source of this information. 

You can easily hang a chatelaine from this belt, which makes it both lovely and utilitarian. 

The clasp is in the back. It is marked EPNS on each chain link. 

Shown with a 1910s dress also available in the shop. 

+++ Measurements +++

28" total length (waist)

The front piece measures 3.5" x 2"

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition with some patina and surface wear. I have not cleaned or polished this piece, but it would shine up nicely if that is your preference. 

+++ Please read +++
