FRANCE. Quintet of Brass Republic Buttons (5 Pieces), 19th Century. Average Grade: ALMOST UNCIRCULATED.
An interesting and attractive group of brass republican buttons, mostly backed with wood or porcelain, though one simply features a clasp. The common design is as follows: REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE, fasces surmounted by Phrygian cap within oak wreath. One, however, features a modification upon this design, with two outward-facing canons featured below the main motif. Close examination encouraged.
Estimate: $125.00- $175.00
