Peasant filigree silver with toggle bar

£5.00

Silver filigree button, hollow shape, the top decorated with coil rings and granules, the back with circles of wire within a loop. Attached by twisted wire link to crossover wire bar or toggle. Typical of buttons from Dalmatia (now part of Croatia and Montenegro) because of the pyramid shaped knop with undercut base. Probably late 19th or early 20th century. Condition is vintage with a couple of dinks, and would benefit from a careful clean, but an interesting collectable.

Size 7/8” (2.2 cm) diameter
