"Habit Button"
Extraordinary little miniature contained in a coat button. This is a gouache on glass paper from the end of the 18th century. Animated landscape against the background of the setting sun. A central figure in a hat and leaning on a cane, a dog near him; two other figures seated in the background near a lake. Foliage in the frame and mountains in the background which stand out against a cloudy sky where we can see a flock of birds. Golden metal strapping as well as the back which has a ring allowing attachment to the garment. Coquetterie perhaps more masculine than feminine in its time. A delight, we imagine the series on a beautiful silk cardigan ... A beginning or the continuation of a collection for you, enlightened amateurs or not! This button is in very good condition and perfectly original. Delivery: 10 € for metropolitan France.
