Vintage Mid Century French Cut Steel Button Domed Floral Brass Shank 1950s

A finely crafted example of mid-century French design, this cut steel sewing button showcases the enduring appeal of 19th-century styles that saw renewed interest in the 1950s. Made in France and stamped accordingly, it features layered, faceted steel rivets on a pierced brass base—offering texture, shine, and old-world craftsmanship in a compact format. Originally intended as a decorative accent for coats or accessories, it now lends itself well to repurposing in modern jewelry, textile art, or historical garment restoration.
