[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 204989, member: 51"]Wow, amazing Cheryl. Thank you. :):):) The buttons on this coat are 35mm and do match in size the silver plated Art Nouveau button in your first link. So interesting. I noticed on the silver plated one the signature, "C.M. Pillet", appears under the word "FLORE" the ones on my coat do not seem to have that signature. Would mine be actual Art Nouveau buttons or converted medallions? If yes, do you think they had some kind of coating applied to create a more uniform look or would they always have had this brass color? I really appreciate you taking a look. I would not have thought these older just at first glance, but did think they looked a bit special. When I read the newspaper article that this couturier sometimes used antique buttons, and money seemed to be no object, thought I better do some digging. That would be very cool if they were older.[/QUOTE]
