A DIVISION ONE WALLPAPER SCENE BUTTON

Description

1 Large 19th century incredibly detailed scene in brass. This is quite an unusual and finely made pictorial button. The design is an all over Wallpaper Architectural/Landscaper design. Notice the person in the pictorial that you almost miss since there is so much going on here. The brass is bright, its thick and heavy and feels like one of those really high quality buttons when you hold it in your hands. A great and unusual example.

Date or EraDIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918
