Rather than treating buttons as simple closures, designers of the period made them miniature sculptures. Each button was cast from a durable bronze alloy and oxidized to emphasize its depth, then polished along the raised ridges.The face features an abstract spiral resembling a blooming rose or coiled ribbon, catching the light as it moves. On the reverse, the smaller buttons have mirror-polished back plates stamped with the size “24,” a copyright symbol (©), and a circular maker\'s mark. The larger buttons have a raw, sand-cast finish around their heavy loop shanks.This set was designed for tailored outerwear, such as a tweed blazer, an asymmetrical wool coat, or a heavy cardigan.
