Six gorgeous antique style French antique buttons in a pretty Sajou box, each with a design of French regional hats.

The diametre of the buttons is 2.5 cm/ 1 inch

The buttons are made in the style of those found in the 18th Century which were glass-covered miniatures. Collectors are very familiar with these magnificent buttons representing country landscapes, sketches representing daily life, the face of a loved one or even revolutionary symbols.

Sajou have reproduced them in a more modest version with images evoking the different aspects of the world of Sajou: details from the large embroidery project on the Toile de Jouy, traditional costumes from the Vernon series of thread cards, vintage floral motifs, Art Nouveau ladies or some of their iconic images like the tightrope walker, the Eiffel Tower and a lady from Alsace.

These buttons can be machine washed without any problem. We recommend however that the temperature be no higher than 40° and to use a delicate spin. Turn the clothes inside out so the buttons don’t come into contact with the machine drum.

Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.

Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.

I have other Sajou haberdashery items for sale in my shop so please do take the time to have a browse.
