I am always impressed by the elaborate details in these tiny Victorian era buttons. This is a set of 12 little waistcoat buttons with an approximate 5/16" diameter. Although they are just over 3/8" across, the brass is very elaborately stamped and cut forming a sort of bezel setting over the mother of pearl centers. The buttons are backed with black painted steel backs which give the buttons a shank style attachment. Even the tiny mother of pearl inserts are incised with a circle. I will be listing other early buttons from this estate.
