Are you looking for a rare and sophisticated piece of Dutch folk costume silver? This beautiful set of antique gold-plated silver throat buttons was specially crafted for boys up to 12 years of age. These smaller neck buttons are a magnificent example of historical Dutch silversmithing and are in excellent collector's condition.

Despite their compact size, these buttons excel in masterful detail:
  • The design: The buttons have a beautiful convex, dome-shaped structure traditionally worn to fasten a shirt or neckerchief.
  • The decoration: The domes are hand-decorated with refined applied filigree and wirework in an elegant, symmetrical loop pattern. The segments are gracefully edged with tiny silver granules.
  • The finish: The buttons are fully gold-plated (vermeil), which gives the silver a deep, warm golden luster and beautifully highlights the delicate craftsmanship.
  • The connection: The back is finished smooth and features the original, reliable silver link connection (connecting rings).
