CONFEDERATE LAUREL WREATH KEEPER FROM TWO-PIECE INTERLOCKING CS BELT PLATE

$395.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 915-21

This is a good example of the wreath portion of the quintessential Confederate sword belt plate. This is an excavated example showing a pleasing olive-green patina mixed with some light brown in recesses. The wreath is well cast and chased with good detail and definition to the laurel leaves, berries the ribbon cross ties at top and bottom. The edges of the loop show a careful bevel. The connecting bar is relatively flat. The reverse of the wreath shows a well defined channel with some shallow corrosion to the inner edges and back of the connecting bar, none of it visible from the face. The belt loop shows a slight bend from a push from the side, but has no cracks or breaks. See Mullinax (1991) Plates 008 and following for parallels.

This is a widely used Confederate pattern derived from US pre-war two-piece plates with enough variation in the CS and various state seal tongue designs to make it a complete sub-category of Confederate plate collecting on its own.  [sr][ph:L]
