This striking vintage Bergamot Brass Works belt buckle, made in 1988, beautifully captures one of America’s most enduring symbols — the Statue of Liberty, standing proudly before a waving American flag.
Cast in solid brass with detailed relief work and hand-applied color accents, the buckle features Lady Liberty raising her torch against a richly textured American flag backdrop. A banner below reads “The Flame of Liberty,” reinforcing the buckle’s patriotic theme and powerful symbolism of freedom and opportunity.
The reverse side includes Bergamot Brass Works markings and features the iconic Emma Lazarus inscription from The New Colossus, famously associated with the Statue of Liberty, adding historical and emotional depth to the piece. The buckle’s sculpted frame and aged patina enhance its vintage appeal while maintaining crisp detail.
This buckle serves as both wearable art and a statement of American heritage, making it perfect for collectors of patriotic memorabilia or anyone proud to display classic Americana.
