HOUGHTON Buttons and Brooches, England, ca. 1900

This elegant gentleman’s accessory set, dating to circa 1900, comprises six silver waistcoat buttons, one brooch, and two tie pins, all originating from England and attributed to the maker Houghton—whose mark appears both on the box lid and the reverse of the brooch.

The buttons, each approximately 1 cm in diameter, are crafted in silver and feature a refined enamel finish with a ruby red rim and white center. Rather than being sewn on, they were designed to be secured with metal eyelets, reflecting the tailored elegance of Edwardian menswear.

The brooch, measuring approx. 3 x 1.3 cm, and the tie pins complete the ensemble, offering a cohesive and stylish presentation of turn-of-the-century gentleman’s fashion. All pieces are in very good condition, with the green presentation box showing clear signs of age - including wear and a lid that may require re-gluing.

This rare antique men’s accessory set is ideal for collectors of Edwardian jewelry, British enamel work, or historical tailoring accents.
