Charles Horner Silver Button Hook

Edwardian silver pendant (1905). Marked Chester 1905.

£100
Hard Gold PlatingOptional upgrade · a rich, durable gold finish

Description

A silver button hook by Charles Horner, one of the best known names in Edwardian silver and jewellery. The handle is formed from looping, twisting silver wire in a lovely Art Nouveau style knot, ending in a slim shaft and the little hook. Button hooks were an everyday essential for doing up the tiny buttons on boots and gloves, and every household had one. Today they make a great quirky pendant, and the Charles Horner name makes it all the more collectable. A little bit of everyday history that's fun to wear.
