FAQs

During the Edwardian era, button hooks were practical daily accessories used to pull buttons through the stiff fabric or leather of boots, gloves, and corsets. High-status vanity sets often included button hooks with decorated silver handles.

Antique button hooks typically feature a hollow or solid sterling silver handle join attached to a tempered steel shank. Steel was favoured for the functional hook portion due to its strength under tension, while the handle provided aesthetic ornament.

Authentic British pieces bear official silver hallmarks on the handle, including a makers mark, town mark, date letter, and the lion passant denoting sterling silver standard (925). The wear patterns should reflect light, authentic age around the steel join.

Small vanity antiques can be curated inside glass cloches, arranged across marble vanity trays, or styled alongside books on open shelving to add texture and historical interest to modern spaces.

Lightly buff the silver handle using a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid chemicals. Ensure the steel shaft remains dry to prevent rust and oxidisation, applying a thin coating of microcrystalline wax if necessary.
