Buckles Through The Ages.

 

Medieval Type

Buckles with a pointed loop without forked spacer date from 1350- 1450. Many of these are so similar to those with forked spacers they must have been contemporary.

 

 

 

 

 


Spectacle Type

Buckles with "figure of eight" loops shown below date from 1350 - 1500 plus. There is little firm evidence of this type before the middle of the 14th century but gradually from that time onwards it becomes more common until in the late and possibly Medieval period it became the dominant style.
