A division one large jewel button
1 Large late 19th century silvered brass glass in metal example. Bruce tells us that some purists might not consider this to be a Gay 90 jewel and others may. We will leave that up to you. The silvered brass backing has a wonderful pattern on it with an ornate openwork embellishment on both sides of the oval salmon colored glass jewel imitating coral. A very nice button whatever one calls it. From the collection of Jose Roman.
