A Collection of Antique and Vintage Diverse Metal Buttons, Mounted on Card - A collection comprising group of antique and vintage buttons, meticulously arranged and mounted on a cream-colored card, each encircled by blue ink. The buttons exhibit significant diversity in size, material, and design. They are primarily crafted from patinated metals such as brass and bronze. Styles include intricate figural and allegorical scenes, often depicting cherubs, classical draped figures, and various human profiles in cameo or miniature painted portrait form, with portrait notably resembling Mozart. Other designs feature detailed floral and botanical motifs, geometric patterns, and symbolic emblems. Several buttons feature inlays, such as carved cameos (appearing to be agate or shell), miniature hand-painted portraits, and photographic inserts (depicting a baby). Some buttons utilize composite materials, including a white cameo set into a dark circular mount, and embellished with a border of small turquoise and white beads. Card dimensions: 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) high, 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) wide. Burns in-house shipping is available.
