Peasant silver with weighted back

£3.50

Vintage/antique small peasant silver buttons, domed shape with stylised flower design. (Look like silver but unmarked and untested) typical in many parts of Europe from the 18th to early 20th century. Instead of the usual flat metal back, these are back-filled with some kind of weighted resin, possibly to save on silver or to give the buttons more weight. Interesting little buttons, and the do have some age to them. Price is per button

Size 9/16" (1.4 cm)
