My mother and grandmother both had stashes of buttons, most of which were purchased before I was born (and I remember the ‘Swinging 60’s’!).
I used to love to play with the buttons, plunging my tiny hands into the tins and jars of multi-coloured 'gems'. I spent hours sorting them into coloured piles, size relation piles, design piles and any other pile I could think of.
Decades later, after I had inherited the tins and jars of historical lovelies, I came up with the 'brilliant' idea of sharing the love with whomever would like to adorn their creations with something a bit different, a bit 'special'.

Full description

Firstly, let me say that the colour which has been chosen for these buttons is a deep, warm, plum maroon.

Secondly, my favorite time for fashion and design must be Art Deco, with Charles Rennie Macintosh as my all-time hero. These beautiful buttons are perfectly Deco styled. They once belonged to my Grandmother so it is possible they came from that era.

The buttons are all about the number “3” it seems. They are wheel shaped, in as much as there is a central hub and a rim around the outside. The rim is divided into 6 parts, 3 raised alternating with 3 lower chamfered ‘troughs’. And each of the troughs have three raised ridges which have been cast in them.

Very geometric. Very Deco!

There are two holes, for attachment and the back plates are perfectly smooth, so the buttons will sit cleanly and not move around.

Made from acrylic (plastic) they are very hard wearing and machine washable.

There are 6x buttons, each with a diameter of 16mm.
