EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning belt buckle, created by American artist Lyman Young in the late 1930s, is a captivating example of decorative arts from the 20th century. The intricately designed buckle, which features a floral pattern in vibrant colors, was likely used as an accessory for an ankle gaiter or garters during the fashionable decades of the 1930s and 1940s. Young's belt buckle is a testament to the functional yet artistic nature of the period, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that defined the era. The design, rendered in watercolor pen and ink and gouache on paper, exhibits a delicate balance between the organic and geometric, with the floral pattern seamlessly integrated into the overall composition. This beautiful artifact, now preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is an index of American design, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and the artistic innovations of the time. The belt buckle's timeless appeal transcends its historical significance, making it a desirable object for collectors and enthusiasts of decorative arts and fashion clothing alike.
