From the second half of the seventeenth century, brass blazer buttons were produced for military and civilian wear.
Each button is cut from solid brass and individually diestamped in the traditional way, and then rough-buffed by hand in preparation for plating, as appropriate, in either 9ct gold, silver, antique silver or bronze finishes.
Each button shown can be reproduced in solid gold or silver and can also be engraved.
The majority of our buttons also feature enamel detail in one, two or three different colours. Each enamelling is applied one at a time using a fine paintbrush, before being fired in a kiln at a very high temperature to ensure permanence. After cooling, the button is carefully inspected and the raised detail is burnished by hand.
