19th Century Maltese Silver Toggle Buttons

19th century
Description

An interesting set of four silver Maltese silver toggle buttons. Three are marked with an F which in my reference book indicates they are of French silver stand the fourth is marked CO with a further mark which I cannot make out. I believe these date to circa 1800. There is one tiny filigree flower missing on one of them and the toggle on one button is slightly shorter.

L x 3 6.5 cm

L x 1 6 cm

FAQs

Maltese silver toggle buttons are 19th-century dress fasteners crafted in Malta, featuring filigree work and used to secure garments or shirts via a bar-and-loop mechanism.

These buttons were crafted from silver using filigree, wirework, and granulation techniques, forming hollow ornamental spheres attached to chain links and transverse toggle bars.

Authentic pieces showcase wire filigree, traditional Maltese cross or floral motifs, regional makers marks or purity hallmarks, and age-appropriate surface oxidisation.

These items can be displayed in velvet-lined shadow boxes or jewellery collections, or adapted for wear as custom cufflinks or dress closures.

Clean silver filigree using a soft-bristled brush with warm water and mild soap, avoiding chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that remove natural oxidisation or bend wirework.
