Description from the seller
Rare Collection of 25 Art Deco Corozo Buttons (Vegetable Ivory) – Hand-Finished – Circa 1920s/1930s
Art Deco (approx. 1920-1935)
Authentic Corozo (Vegetable Ivory – Solid palm nut)
25 pieces (16 and 4 large / 5 small)
European Craftsmanship (Likely France or Italy)
An exceptionally rare and homogenous lot of 25 authentic buttons from the interwar period. These buttons are crafted from Corozo, a luxury natural material renowned for its durability and its unique ability to absorb dyes.
Exclusively Hand-Finished. The most significant feature of this collection is the uniqueness of each individual piece. Because they have been hand-turned and hand-drilled, no two buttons are exactly alike. Upon close inspection of the geometric engravings and the drill holes, one can discern the subtle variations in pressure and tool angle, which testify to the human touch and the authenticity of the era.
The design follows the clean lines of Modernism/Art Deco, featuring three clusters of parallel incisions that create a dynamic visual effect. The black pigment has acquired a magnificent patina over the decades.
Very good vintage condition. Some pieces exhibit natural fading (distressed look), revealing the inner "ivory" of the nut—a hallmark guarantee of genuine Corozo material.
Strong custom made packing, registered shipping.
