Truly a beautiful button, this vision in black comes from the collection of my friend Doreen, who sold me this button last year. Following one of her highly successful button-hunting sprees, Doreen laid out her latest finds and my eyes fell straightaway on this licorice prize. A sharp square is cut within a stylized border with a pyramid-shaped elevation sectioned in fours and then embellished with a few squiggly flourishes. What results is a magnificent style, though unmistakably prim. I see this button on the priggish garb of a no-nonsense schoolmarm in the early 1930's. Strict, but sensational.
