Let's look at some art nouveau buttons that I can't bear to keep to myself any longer. Straight out of the early 1920's, these black coat buttons tested positive for Bakelite and flaunt handsome carvings at their borders, but what really conveys the beauty of this pair is the brass escutcheons in a classic style of ART NOUVEAU. There's a lot to say about this style, but today's not the day to expound on it. What I will say is that I plan on posting a whole week of art nouveau buttons later this year and they are NOT buttons to be missed. Consider this an advanced teaser.
