Descrizione del venditore
Antique Victorian Folding Buttonhook – Sterling Silver & Mother of Pearl – William Needham – Sheffield, 1891
An elegant and beautifully preserved Victorian folding buttonhook, crafted in England in 1891, featuring a genuine mother-of-pearl handle and a sterling silver hook.
This charming antique accessory was traditionally used by ladies to fasten the small, tightly spaced buttons on fashionable Victorian ankle boots and high-button shoes.
The specially shaped hook was inserted through the buttonhole to catch the button and gently pull it into place.
Design & Craftsmanship
The handle is made from beautifully iridescent mother of pearl, displaying delicate natural shades of ivory, cream and pale green.
A small oval silver cartouche is elegantly engraved with the name “May”, most likely referring to its original owner.
The folding mechanism allows the silver hook to be neatly concealed inside the handle, making this a practical and refined travelling accessory.
