Description

This is a handsome Set of Six Edwardian Sterling Silver Buttons. The buttons are circular with a beaded rim and an embossed design of a galleon in full sail.

The buttons were imported into the UK by Samuel Boaz Landeck and assayed in Chester in 1904. Samuel Boaz Landeck, sometimes Anglicised as Boyce Landeck, was an importer based in London. He registered his mark at Goldsmith’s Hall in 1879 and remained in business until his death in 1907. He specialised in sourcing personal items and tableware in continental designs that weren’t otherwise available in the UK.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents and just the most minimal superficial surface wear. These have clearly been well looked after for the last 120 years! Please make sure to view all the photographs.

Each button is 2.3cm in diameter and the set of six together weighs in at 21.0g of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, above the galleons, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the sword and three wheatsheaves assay mark for Chester, the date letter D for 1904, the stamped F for foreign, showing that they are imports, and the S B L importers' mark for Samuel Boaz Landeck.

Shipping in the UK is £11.00 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the buttons.
