Brass picture buttons from the Victorian era, circa 1870-1918, are very collectible. These charming discs were stamped with images taken from everything from operas to children’s books. In fact, if you wanted to tell the world you were a fan of a work of literature, you’d sew buttons featuring scenes from the novel or story on your coat or shirt. Other picture buttons took their cues from nature (flora and fauna), the sciences (stars and moons), or mythology (Cupids, fairies, angels, etc.) We pair the button with an ornate split band, so one size fits most. Due to the nature of antiques, buttons will vary, however quality and beauty will not. We’re happy to send images prior to shipping.
