Set of 11pcs Victorian Flower Button with Cut Steel Accents B696
You are buying this set of 11 buttons. They seem to be in pretty good shape. Note there is some slight discoloration on a couple of the centers. Not sure if it is just a little paint fade, I was thinking these centers might be celluloid so that might account for it. Size id about 1/2 inch.
Why Collectors Love Them Today
Sets of matching 19th-century buttons in good condition are increasingly rare. Collectors and historical costumers prize pieces with cut steel accents for their historic charm, craftsmanship, and light-capturing quality:
Rarity: Complete or semi-complete sets (such as this set of 11) are difficult to find, as buttons were often separated or lost over time.
Mixed Media Charm: The blend of metallic cut steel borders with soft, detailed floral centers makes them standout additions to any button card, shadow box, or vintage collection.
Versatility: Beyond collecting, these original antique pieces are favored by artisan jewelers for upcycling into rings, pendants, and earrings, as well as by re-enactors seeking period-accurate detailing.
