Vintage early 1900’s Brass Champleve Round Brass Buttons with Marcasite Blossom Centers, 15 mm across with a cutout scrolled center. These are beautifully enameled in red, blue, green, and light blue framing and a center slightly domed, with 6 blossom arranged marcasite accents. These are also listed as cloisonne and enameled however in this instance, the correct term is Champleve. Some of the marcasite stones do have typical vintage oxidation which can be cleaned/restored but they are still pretty nice as is. They are priced at $20.00 per button which is lower than the amounts I’ve seen. I’ve seen 6 offered through a website for $300.00. Can be broken down and sold in a smaller lot if desired. These are purported to be from the 1920’s making them nearly 100 years old so they are not perfect but still very nice. Possibly French but not certain. Great PA estate find. Attached shank and that stable and sturdy. They are not signed. See photos.
