Early English silver button, hand engraved and decorated with a monogram in fancy script, amongst foliage. Flat back and thick shank. Backmarked with the maker’s initials “IF”, the monarch’s head (George III), the lion for sterling silver, and date letter “A” for London 1796. Slight signs of wear commensurate with old silver, but good size and charming decoration. Nice to have the full hallmark, so a very desirable collectable.

Size 1.2” (3 cm)
