Medieval button in floral form - replica.
This replica of a medieval button is vaguely reminiscent of a flower and is modelled on an English button, dating from the 1450 to 1600.
Medieval buttons in the shape of blossoms are often found in found material and were typical of late medieval garb, where long rows of buttons were fashionable for decoratively fastening clothing.
With the solidly cast-on-eyelet on the underside, the medieval button can be attached to the garment with a few stitches.
The button has the size: 1,1 x 1 cm. The eyelet is 1.5 mm wide.
You can buy this button in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (please note the delivery time). Alloy...
The button appeared quite late in Europe and was transmitted by oriental influences via the old trade routes of the long-distance travellers across the Mediterranean to the north, but was hardly widespread before the middle of the 13th century.
The medieval button frequently had a spherical shape, but flat buttons and flower motifs were also common, although these did not have holes as they do today, but had a small eyelet on the back with which to sew the button to the garment.
Medieval buttons were often made of pewter, but there is also evidence of medieval buttons made of brass, bronze and even silver. The medieval button was usually attached to the hem of the garment and closed on the opposite side with a small eyelet made of fabric.
