Belt, A Vintage, Buckle, Inlay, Conestoga Wagon, Dishta Hallmark, Vintage, 879

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

We are thrilled to offer this awesome belt by Virgil & Lena Dishta, Jr. This magnificent buckle features a detailed wagon-themed inlay of turquoise, mother-of-pearl, and tiny hints of coral. The silverwork has a phenomenal level of detail, including twisted wire, diamond and flower appliqués, and decorative loops. It is paired with a simple, tooled leather belt that helps each buckle detail pop. If this piece caught your eye, just like us, you will not want to pass it up.
