ENAMELLED BUTTONS

Here are two enamelled buttons in the Art Nouveau style from the early 1900’s.  I love the flowing lines of this period; they are so elegant and graceful.   They both have floral designs but are quite different.  The designs of buttons always impress me and I wonder who actually designed them.  I am sure they would have “played “with pencil and paper trying all angles and aspects until they came up with what pleased them the most.  I also wonder if there are any such sketch books from designers in museums. Oh how I would love to see one!
