16 Picture Buttons Victorian Horse Anchors Stag Lion Soldier Brass Ornate Antique NBS Small Med. Great for Jewelry or Assemblage Art c1890

This is a lot of 16 wonderful antique Victorian picture buttons dating from c.1890-1900. These are NBS Small to Medium and are made of brass with some tin backgrounds. These are all extra fancy picture buttons.

This group includes:
A stag with branches
A star
A Roman soldier
A crouching deer
Crossed flags
A heraldic shield topped by a griffin
An inlaid celluloid star
A horseshoe with red tint
A swastika, from a time when this was still a good luck symbol, and not a symbol of hate
"The Trumpeter of Krakow"
A lion
Another horseshoe
A rider with a flag, on a horse
An anchor
Three masks
And an Axe, this last button is carved tagua nut (vegetable ivory)

Black lacquered, and tin backs. Loop shanks and self shanks. They are gorgeous ornate multi layered buttons!

These range from 7/16" to 13/16", NBS Small to Medium.

The condition is good with a little wear, light wear typical of their age, please click on Zoom for a closer look.

I have not attempted to clean any of the buttons I will be listing the next few weeks, so some are a bit dusty or may have a touch of rust on the backs.

Ideal to use for jewelry projects such as button bracelets, as well as assemblage and altered art.
