About the Item

This fine set of three antique Canadian reverse-painted buttons is a rare example of early sporting and decorative jewelry art. Crafted in warm 14k yellow gold, each button measures approximately 1.00 inch in length and together weigh 3.7 grams. The centerpiece of each is a meticulously hand-painted fox head, executed in the traditional Essex crystal style with the image painted in reverse on rock crystal, giving it remarkable depth and lifelike presence. The fox, with vivid red detailing and expressive features, reflects the period’s fascination with hunting motifs and country pursuits. Reverse-painted crystals were highly prized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for their artistry and durability, making these buttons not only functional but collectible works of miniature art. Preserved in their original fitted case, they embody craftsmanship, history, and charm in equal measure.
