A beautiful matching set of three antique Victorian pressed steel buttons, each featuring a finely engraved shamrock motif set against a polished steel centre and surrounded by an intricate faceted pressed steel border.

These decorative buttons date to the mid to late 19th century and display the wonderful craftsmanship associated with Victorian steel buttons. The reflective faceted border catches the light beautifully, while the black japanned backs and original soldered shanks remain intact.

Matching sets such as these are increasingly sought after by button collectors, costume historians and textile artists. They would also make a striking display in a cabinet of curiosities or alongside antique sewing tools.

Condition Good antique condition with age-related wear and a lovely natural patina. The reflective steel retains a bright finish, and all three buttons have their original shanks. Please study the photographs as they form part of the description.

Approximate date Victorian, circa 1850 to 1880.

Perfect for collectors of antique buttons, Victorian haberdashery, textile restoration, sewing collections or creative display.
