Rococo Silk Belt Pocket, England, ca. 1780

This charming Rococo belt bag, dating to the 18th century, is the type of small accessory a lady of the house would have worn attached to the belt of her gown to keep essential items close at hand. Pieces like this were both practical and decorative, and they form an important part of Georgian and Rococo fashion history.

This example comes from an English collection and survives in good to very good condition. The craftsmanship is delicate and typical of the period, with only a small loss at one corner along the upper edge - an age‑appropriate imperfection that does not detract from its rarity or charm.

A delightful and collectible accessory for lovers of 18th‑century textiles, historic costume, and museum‑quality Rococo fashion.
