Back to Buttons
Background fooler: metal over bone
Background/Story
Bone with painted brass overlay
19th century bone button with openwork painted metal embellishment.
When you examine the back, you will see that it is a bone button with a metal front and rim. Not a background construction, as the bone is not set into a metal back.  NBS large size.
