A DIVISION ONE REPOUSSE COPPER BUTTON

1 Extra large approx. 4" copper Chinese Sea Creatures button. Here is another beautifully detailed extra large 19th century or earlier button from China, this one created in repousse copper.

This one depicts two adorable Panda Bears.

Condition

PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.
