SEQUINS / BEADS on Fabric ANTIQUE BUTTON #1, 1800s Sew-Back, Tin-Backing, LARGE

Description: Unusual antique clothing button was made of a combination of textiles, sequins, and 2 different types of glass beads -- plus there is a tin backing. The beads and sequins are sewn into a pattern -- it looks sort of like a heart or leaf. I'm not sure of the age of this button, but mom said that it quite early -- maybe from the early 1800s. However, the tin-back doesn't look quite that old to me, so I'd guess the late 1800s or even early 1900s. Any help out there? There is a sew-on, textile style backing. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact size. Overall condition: Solid VG/VG+..... The fabric may have light wear or soiling -- but there are no cuts, dents, or other more serious flaws. It is overall in very nice shape and it will display quite well. See attached photos for more detail on the condition. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage buttons. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime member of the National Button Society, plus was active in several local button clubs in New York. She is downsizing, so I am helping her sell some of her collection. But I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting. I try to use various notes she left with the buttons to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, are not terms I am familiar or experienced with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
