Discounted “Fireside Family”fibula
Medieval brass fibula ready to ship!
“Fireside Family” brass fibula, ready to ship!
Natural materials are more sensitive to time: during long storage, they might lose their initial appearance. Luckily for us, it sometimes results in an aged appearance or a more medieval look without any additional work. On the other side, in the hands of an understanding person ready to invest their time and effort, the dark brass can become a shiny polished one in no time. It would be unacceptable and irresponsible to write off scrap high-quality products just because they are unfit, so we offer a good deal on them.
Please, note: the brass accents of the items in the listing are darker than the original photos show. Be aware you’ll have to polish them by yourself in case you need the shiny brass aspect. In the photos you can find examples of their current state.
Medieval fibula with red enamel
In Medieval times, people appreciated the functionality of their garments. Their ancestors protected themselves from cold weather with wool. But thousands of years later, people build textile industries and used linen and cotton. However, even with developing industries, making fitting clothes was difficult. Then, people used jewelry. When it was cold, and people had to come back home late in the evening or go somewhere early in the morning, capes and coats were necessary. But at that time, they looked just like pieces of material without buttons or zippers. In order to fasten overgarments, people started to use fibulas.
We decided to include such a useful item in our “Fireside Family” collection. Following its main idea, we wanted to make the fibula simple, beautiful, and functional. The brooch’s design is perfect for those who like the history of different tribes and are interested in their culture. During the Migration Period, people did not have time to elaborate on designs during the production of household items. In museums, you can find examples of such fibulas. Without completely even edges, they have a very natural look.
Our “Fireside Family” brass fibula looks just like these artefacts but with a unique ArmStreet design. Our blacksmiths complete laser cutting and then our jewelry studio finishes the brooch. Each step of production is taken with care to ensure the best quality.
Find your own way to use the fibula and combine it with your favorite garments.
