Wonderful antique Victorian era Kate Greenaway button with children sitting on the fence under an umbrella. Made of brass, this is a two-part button, with the intricate pierced design attached to a lacquered backing. Typical Victorian loop shank. Measures 3/4". There is mild wear to the lacquer, but otherwise this button is in wonderful condition. Similar Kate Greenaway buttons are scarce and are valued between $85 and $200 in Antique & Collectible Buttons Volume II by Debra J. Wisniewski. A superb addition to your antique button or Kate Greenaway collection.
