A pair of 18th century silver Dandy buttons. c1760-1790.

Two 18th century octagonal silver 'Dandy' buttons engraved with a Tudor rose- a popular motif. The pattern was also used on British naval uniforms until the late 18th century but not in this form. The late 18th century Dandy was a very fashionable young man who followed the latest trends in fashion and behaviour (Beau Brummell). These octagonal waistcoat buttons would have been a bold patriotic statement. 1.5cm in diameter. In good condition- no damage. There is however a third, smaller button which is sadly damaged so that will be included in the parcel for free. Stock no. LS38
