These are a handsome set of French antique jet-style buttons still mounted on their original shop display card, dating to approximately 1900–1925. Their elegant concentric-ring design and presentation are characteristic of the fashionable dress trimmings sold in French merceries during the Belle Époque and early Art Deco period, 1905–1925
These are most likely made from early moulded composition (celluloid or casein). During the early 20th century, French manufacturers produced many stylish black buttons that imitated the appearance of jet while being lighter and less expensive.
They 1.5cm wide.
