French Enamel Buttons, ca. 1850, White Tinies with Touches of Pink and Turquoise Blue

This one has so very many special buttons going on! From the square one to the Yin-Yang, the pierced buttons to the delicate millegrain of the soft purple taupe button, each one is a piece of tiny art. The center round button with the star flower portrait is unusual due to the tiny background that creates a matte finish. And don’t miss the button to the right of center, which features a shorescape showing a sailboat and a bird in flight.
