Perfume Button Necklace - Civil War Era

Authentic 1860’s French perfume button. Perfume buttons have an underlay of fabric with a pierced, ornate overlay. During the Civil war period, the women would dab their oil based perfumes on their fabric buttons. Their buttons were given to loved ones as they went off to war as a reminder of them.

An 1860's perfume button with a flower is the focal point on this necklace. Rich burgundy velvet fabric is peeking through the middle of the button.  A 1920's mother of pearl button adds to the charm. Exquisite.
