Lot 328

1 Medium size 19th century hand painted pearl horse button. This button from a larger set is incredibly detailed and hand painted in the Vernis Martin style. Vernis Martin paintings were a style of painting in the 18th and 19th century often created on lacquer boxes and furniture and the like. This sporting button of the Horses head is hand painted in that style and most likely was created in France at the time Vernis Martin paintings were popular. This is a rare find in buttons as there are very few buttons we can attribute to this style and artistry. Attached images show a small selection of Vernis Martin paintings in this style from a French magazine. Bruce tells us that he has several boxes in his collection created in this style and would be happy to share images of them if anyone is ever interested. We have also given you here the Wikipedia partial definition or origin of this technique. Vernis Martin is a type (or a number of types) of japanning or imitation lacquer named after the 18th century French Martin brothers: The second photo was taken at an angle so you could see some of the chatoyant color in the pearl base.The coloration in the pearl when turned around in the light changes every whi.ch way you turn and is just exquisite.
