Old buttons

Rosahane · 2020-03-18 22:59:45

Interesting buttons that belonged to my Grandmother. No idea just how old they are but probably Edwardian or Victorian. She was a dressmaker and was born in 1882. No markings whatsoever on the back. Anybody any ideas as to how old they are? E7398F5A-58DF-4156-850B-8D528754CE74.jpeg

Hi Roshane

You got a nice little set of French hand painted buttons.
I'd be 95% sure that they are Limoges and probably early 20th century.

They are painted with 'Watteau' garden scenes which was always v. popular subject for the French.

Thanks for the information. I will probably frame them on a cloth background.
