Welcome

The goal of our Club is to provide opportunities to study buttons that are worth collecting, and share that knowledge as we come to appreciate their beauty and history. Collectable buttons include all buttons - antique and vintage, uniform and military.

Meetings are held at 8 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month (except January) in the Fellowship Room of the Burwood Heights Uniting Church (A-frame) on the corner of Burwood Highway and Blackburn Road, Burwood East.  (Melways Ref. 61 K7)

Liberty & Art Nouveau buttons

Liberty & Co. began producing buttons, specifically those designed by Archibald Knox, around the turn of the 20th century during the Art Nouveau period (1890-1915).  Buttons were made of sterling silver and enamel.

The Art Nouveau period in art and design spanned roughly from the early 1890s to the beginning of World War I in 1914.  It was characterized by the use of flowing, organic lines and motifs inspired by nature.  The style appeared in various disciplines including architecture, interior design, jewellery, and graphic arts.

The 3 buttons featuring people's faces are not Liberty & Co. Buttons, but are typical of one type of art nouveau button.

Liberty buttons are very beautiful and are the Topic for discussion at our Club meeting on Tuesday 9th September...

Visitors are always welcome at our Club meetings.
