22L Set of Six Emaux Peints Champleve Posy Flowers Enamel Buttons, 1/2"

These exquisite antique gilt-brass champlevé-enamel buttons showcase the artistry and skill of 19th-century craftsmanship. The champlevé process involves engraving a design into brass, filling the recessed areas with colored glass enamel, and firing it at high heat, a meticulous, multi-step method rarely practiced today. The result is a brilliant, durable surface with luminous color and fine detail, enhanced by the warmth of real gilt brass.

Because each button was made by hand and few have survived in such fine condition, authentic champlevé buttons are increasingly rare and collectible. They reflect a time when even the smallest fashion details were made with care and artistry, true masterpieces of wearable history.

Set of six antique 1800s gilt brass champleve enamel buttons. Hand-painted Emaux Peints rose pink flower posy design on gilt brass.
