Item Details
Description
1 Large early 20th century signed glass in metal pictorial button.
Here is an incredibly hard to find button from the French designer Rene Lalique. This is one of the 6 designs known in buttons that the Lalique company in France produced. The button depicts a beautiful Art Nouveau design of a Nymph and is set with three genuine small cultured pearls. The button is etched into the glass the signature of R. Lalique along with the word "Fioret" on one side and "Paris" on the other. The setting is silver and is backmarked Sterling. The glass is frosted etched and is enhanced in this case with a brownish sepia tint designed to highlight the molded glass image of the nymph and fauna. The button has been found in a variety of colors but this example is the only known version we are aware of with this special tint. You don't want to pass this fine example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship up. Truly remarkable.
Issued: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918
Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above
