A Collection of Rare Antique Champleve Enamel Buttons on a Collector Card - A group of rare antique enamel buttons, primarily composed of metal with intricate enamelwork, meticulously arranged and displayed on a grid-lined, aged cardboard sheet. The buttons showcase a diverse range of styles, including floral, geometric, and heraldic designs such as the fleur-de-lis, executed through enameling techniques like cloisonné and champlevé in a vibrant array of colors. Notable variations include a group of green-rimmed buttons featuring iridescent mother-of-pearl or shell inserts. Handwritten annotations on the display card, such as ”hA Mode 1996,” ”Bicentennial,” ”Medina '92,” and various numerical figures (likely prices or inventory numbers, e.g., ”5⁰⁰” for $5.00), indicate the collection spans different periods, mostly 19th and early 20th c.
