Pair of magnificent Victorian solitaire buttons, each with a portrait of a dog molded in high relief. I think these are Sheffield plate - silver plated on copper - and some of the silvered surface has rubbed on the higher areas. Detachable shanks which join with a spring mechanism. Backstamped WEST’S PATENT with the setting sun logo. Price is for the pair. A beautiful pair of collectibles.

Size 1.2” (3 cm)
