Brass Buttons - The Manning & Manning Collection (page 2 of 2) ![]() From the second half of the seventeenth century, brass blazer buttons were produced in the City of London for military and civilian wear. When manufacturing became uneconomical in the more expensive parts of London, production moved to Birmingham in the Midlands, where it has continued for more than 100 years. To continue the tradition, we are delighted to advise that all our brass blazer buttons are Made in England. Each button is cut from solid brass and is individually die-stamped in the traditional way. It is then rough-buffed by hand in preparation for plating, as appropriate. The majority of our buttons also feature enamel detail in one, two or three colours. Each enamelling is applied one at a time using a fine paintbrush, before being fired in a kiln at a very high temperature to ensure permanence. After cooling, the button is carefully inspected and the raised detail is burnished by hand. We offer two button sizes, front and cuff, as shown in the brass buttons listed below. The prices quoted are per button, regardless of size. If you wish to purchase these buttons, indicate the numbers of each button you require and complete the order form below. We use |
