Add Comment  This design is said to be based on an etching by Peter Fiotner, a Swiss sculptor who lived from 1485-1546. It has winged beasties on a a boat & an oar whose end has a giant bearded devil with horns.       Full cards of unused antique Victorian & Edwardian buttons; a great way to motivate me to create more jewelry.      Antique buttons with designs of plant life, unused, on their original cards. The top 2 images are of black glass buttons, the others are metal picture buttons.    Nice large picture buttons with a twinkle background. Found in England. | ArchivesMay 2012 CategoriesAll |
