PARKES Gents Buttons, London, ca. 1898

This elegant set of six antique jacket buttons, dating to circa 1898, originates from an English collection and reflects the refined craftsmanship of late Victorian men's fashion accessories. Each button, approximately 2.3 cm in diameter, is likely made of silver and features a delicately rendered floral motif, typical of the understated yet decorative style favored in turn-of-the-century tailoring.

The buttons are housed in their original rectangular presentation case, measuring approx. 12.5 x 2 cm, with an interior lined in silk and velvet. The exterior shows scuffed areas in its leather-look finish, consistent with age and use, yet still adds charm and authenticity to the ensemble.

This rare Victorian button set is ideal for collectors of antique men's accessories, silver buttons, or historical tailoring details, offering a tangible link to the elegance of 1890s gentleman’s attire.
