A long-established retailer with a great reputation for knowledge and expertise, Button Queen is an emporium of antique and modern buttons of all shapes and sizes, from 19th-century picture buttons, 1920s antique art nouveau designs and art deco plastics, to Bimini glass buttons, enamels and oversized contemporary styles. Shelves are filled with boxes of different buttons, made from horn, silver, glass, jet and plastic. If you’ve lost an unusual or antique button, staff will try to source a replacement; a button-covering service is also offered, and the company can even arrange to have buttons dyed to match the colour of a fabric. For men, there are blazer buttons, dinner jacket buttons and plastic tailors’ buttons.
