AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Button Collection (40 Pieces) – Art Deco – Bakelite, Casein & Horn – 1910s-1930s
An exceptional and highly curated collection of 40 authentic vintage buttons, spanning the golden era of European haberdashery from the 1910s to the 1930s. This lot is a true journey through fashion history, showcasing the transition from artisanal craftsmanship to early industrial polymer innovation.
This collection features a diverse array of premium historical materials:
-Early Plastics: Includes rare Bakelite and Casein (Galalith), recognizable by its deep luster and organic feel.
-Natural Elements: Select pieces crafted from polished Horn and Bone, showing beautiful natural grain and durability.
Strong Art Deco influence with concentric "record-groove" patterns, geometric engine-turned carvings, and architectural tiered rims. A versatile range from oversized Coat Buttons (40mm+) to medium-sized Suit and Dress Accents. A sophisticated palette of Jet Black, Deep Burgundy, Forest Green, Toffee Brown, and Creamy Ivory.
Very good to excellent vintage condition. Most pieces retain their original factory sheen with minimal age-related patina, preserving their structural integrity for high-end garment restoration or jewelry design.
These are not modern reproductions. This lot was sourced from a private estate and represents the high-quality buttons used by professional tailors and couturiers of the early 20th century.
Strong custom made packing, registered shipping.
