"Soaring bird in flight" Bergamot Brass Works belt buckle

This vintage Bergamot Brass Works belt buckle features a serene and poetic shorebird in flight over a stylized coastal or wetland landscape. Rendered in low-relief solid brass, the design captures motion and calm at the same time — wings outstretched, gliding effortlessly above the horizon.

The minimalist composition and round format give this piece an almost medallion-like, Art Nouveau / mid-century feel, making it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate nature-inspired wearable art rather than bold novelty imagery.

The reverse shows Bergamot’s hallmark medallion and stamped model number A-48, confirming its authenticity. The buckle has developed a rich, natural patina over time, highlighting the depth of the casting and adding warmth and character that only comes with age.

Measures 2 5/8" x 2 5/8"

This is a timeless, unisex design — subtle, elegant, and easy to wear — perfect for collectors of vintage brass, bird lovers, or anyone drawn to calm, symbolic imagery.
