Historical Brass Rose Pattern Disc Button 26mm
Renaissance Elegance and Rosettes in Attire
Historical originals of similar cast buttons date back to the 15th through 17th centuries, bridging the Late Gothic, Renaissance, and Early Baroque eras. During this time, buttons ceased to serve merely a functional fastening role and became a prominent symbol of the wearer's social status and wealth. On the garments of the nobility and wealthy burghers, they frequently appeared in dense rows down the front of doublets and along sleeve slashes. Floral motifs in the form of stylised rosettes and blossoms were exceptionally popular in the decorative arts of the period—symbolising beauty, nobility, and vitality.
This button is crafted as a high-quality casting made of pure brass. Its front face is adorned with a rich sculptural relief of an intricate floral rosette. On the reverse side, it features a solid cast shank with a hole diameter of 2 mm (0.08 in), ensuring easy and reliable sewing onto the garment.

Care of Metal Buttons and Safety Guidelines
My friend, to ensure these buttons serve you well for a long time and retain their beautiful appearance, proper care is recommended. Since these are metal castings, do not machine wash garments fitted with these buttons—this could damage the washing machine drum, wear off the surface patina, or tear the buttons from the fabric. We recommend gentle hand washing or dry cleaning only. Due to air moisture, the brass surface may naturally acquire a patina over time; if you prefer a high shine, it can be lightly polished with a dry cotton cloth. Sew the buttons on using strong waxed thread or linen thread so they hold securely even during vigorous movement.
Recommended Accessories
Along with these elegant Renaissance buttons, we strongly recommend purchasing high-quality wool fabric or velvet for tailoring a period doublet or vest, strong linen thread for sewing, and a matching brass belt buckle from the 16th to 17th century. Your newly created attire will thus achieve a perfectly cohesive and historically accurate character.
