Description
A charming set of 8 Victorian-era carnival glass buttons, each featuring a beautifully detailed country cottage nestled among trees. These shank-back buttons measure 7/8″ in diameter and display a wonderful play of light and subtle iridescence, characteristic of early carnival finishes.
The raised design highlights the roof, windows, and garden path of the little house, giving each button a storybook quality. Mounted on part of the original “Haute Fantaisie” card, these buttons not only speak to their age but also their quality as decorative fasteners once treasured in fine dressmaking.
Perfect for collectors of antique buttons, textile enthusiasts, or for use in period sewing, costuming, or as unique embellishments in creative projects. Their glossy black surface with glints of gold-toned highlights makes them especially striking when displayed.
