Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Antique French

A Collection of Antique French Enamel Floral Buttons - A collection of antique French enamel buttons, primarily crafted from metal, likely gilded base metal, and adorned with intricate enamel work, including cloisonné, champlevé, and painted enamel techniques. The styles vary but largely suggest a period from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring a blend of floral motifs, geometric patterns, and some stylized figurative designs, reminiscent of Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Nouveau aesthetics. The buttons are presented on aged display cards, each encircled by a pencil outline and marked with handwritten numbers (e.g., '10', '12', '5.00', '1000'), likely inventory or price indications. An accompanying card provides textual context, stating, ”These Prices are not Correct,” ”Some have been replaced,” and other notes, suggesting an antique collection with updated inventory or items swapped over time. Display card measures approximately 11 x 8.5 inches (27.9 x 21.6 cm). Button diameters range from approximately 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) to 0.75 inches (1.9 cm). Burns in-house shipping is available.
