Strap fitting in the shape of a Tudor rose.
This historical strap fitting in the shape of a so-called Tudor rose is based on an English model and dates from the 16th century.The dimensions of the Tudor Rose strap fitting are 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
The strap fitting is made of high-quality bronze casting.
Fastening: There are three pins on the back of the Tudor rose. To fasten the strap fitting, simply insert them through the corresponding holes in the leather. It is best to use pliers to bend the tip of the pin inwards a little. If you then tap the pins flat with a hammer, the tip will sink into the leather and the Tudor Rose strap fitting will be stable and flat on the belt.
The Tudor rose shows the image of two roses, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of Yorkshire. This coat of arms was introduced by Henry Tudor when he defeated his rival Richard at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
This finally ended the thirty-year War of the Roses between the rival English noble houses of York and Lancaster.
Henry married Elizabeth of York to bring the feuding factions together and became King of England, uniting the two families in the House of Tudor.
