<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 308987, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, always very fancy, and precise detailing. That would go for most places in Europe. Here are buttons from Sardinia, different models, but all very European:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sardinianpride.com%2Fuploads%2F1%2F0%2F1%2F8%2F101889280%2F9-bottoni-sardi_orig.jpg&amp;sp=0b1200dfb308cb64567d61fbbff98c54" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your buttons are gorgeous, but have a more &#039;ethnographic&#039; feel.</p><p>I think they are antique, made somewhere in the southern part of mainland Asia. I&#039;d start looking from India to Thailand. </p><p>Thailand usually has very intricate filigree, but there are also tribal people like the Hill Tribes, who have simpler metalwork. Their traditional clothing doesn&#039;t have buttons, but these could have been made for trade.</p><p>These buttons are very unusual, and may have been commissioned by a European lady who lived in Asia, so chance is you&#039;ll never find out where they&#039;re from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
