Category: ART DECO BUTTONS

Here is a small group of five Art Deco buttons in various sizes and colours of green, black and brown.  I was pleased to be given them recently.  Wouldn’t they enhance a garment from the 1930’s.

These two buttons were among a group given to me recently.

They are both mottled plastic (maybe Bakelite) in a taupe colour with a tin trim in a geometric shape.  This is typically Art Deco style.  One is quite fine and a sew through type while the other is rather chunky with a brass loop shank.

Here are two more recent acquisitions to my collection.  They are of the same design but with a different colour combination and are of mottled plastic.  The trim adds a great contrast to an otherwise plain button.

I believe these two buttons may be made from Casein.  They have the same cut away design with different colours.  Square buttons are just always a little bit different.  They measure a little  under 2 cm.

I love these buttons and was thrilled to be given them recently.

The stripey areas stand out on the complimentary plain colours.  They are a little over 2  1/2cm  and are from the 1920’s – 30’s period.

These buttons are a lovely mottley green colour in a rectangular type of shape.  They have a narrow strip of tin across them and are very thin.  Their style is typically Art Deco.
