Vintage Bergamot Brass “Teeth” Belt Buckle

1974 | Solid Brass | Made in USA

This striking vintage belt buckle features a bold, sculptural “teeth” motif, cast in solid brass with dramatic depth and texture. The front design resembles a powerful open jaw lined with heavy, rounded teeth, creating a raw, primal aesthetic that feels equal parts industrial, surreal, and darkly artistic.

The interior surface shows rich texturing and natural aging, while the outer edges feature deeply raised tooth forms that give the buckle a three-dimensional, almost anatomical presence. From every angle, this piece commands attention.

The reverse is clearly marked © 1974 Bergamot Brass Works, confirming its authenticity and American craftsmanship. Bergamot is renowned for pushing boundaries in buckle design during the 1970s, and this piece is a perfect example of their willingness to explore bold, unconventional forms.
