Possibility of delivery in Montreal and Ottawa during Canada post strike.
Literally a museum piece. Rare.
Fr.the early 1970's & fr.the home in Ste Adèle, P.Q of the famous enamel on copper artisan couple « de Passillé-Sylvestre”.
These 2 artists-artisans have received many honours & have pieces shows in museums internationally. Were selected by various levels of Canadian governments to be suppliers of official gifts to international royalties, celebrities & other members of the jet set society in the 1960's. Thru my job at the time, I was was privy to the very high prices paid for those gifts by the city of Montreal & you are definitively getting a bargain 4 this piece, made at a time when the 2 artists had a direct & significant input in the production of their signed pieces. The belt is stamped w/their names. In real leather: patent black outer & tan inner.
Buckle designed by Micheline; it is a square of copper covered w/enamel. Front design is a golden sun w/a deep red (burgundy) centre on black.
Total length: about 36 inches
Length between last hole and pin under the buckle: 33 inches (this is the useful length but you could probably extend it by 1.5 inch by adding another hole).
The sides of the buckle square measure about 3 inches. I do not see any major flaw. One corner of the buckle is indented a wee bit but this is a minimal default. The price (ridiculously low considering the quality & rarity of this piece) takes into account this minor flaw. (Mbr) L

I would expect to this in an art gallery I love their work and seen quite a few of his pieces usually in jewellery, which makes this piece so unique

Thank you for your comment! Yes the two artists do have some of their pieces in museums. They were selected as suppliers of gifts to foreign officials by the government of Quebec and some municipalities in Quebec. I was privy to that as part of one of my former jobs.
