What Paris is to haute couture, London is to upscale menswear. Savile Row in the Mayfair district is the center of British menswear, which is why the street is also known as the Golden Mile of tailoring. The garments are made there individually to measure and according to the customer's special wishes; a process known as "bespoke tayloring". It usually takes several months to make a single suit. The street has been the first port of call for stylish gentlemen ever since the legendary Beau Brummel had his wardrobe made there in the early 19th century. Brummel popularized the dandy type, whose clothing is characterized by elegant understatement and perfect craftsmanship. Precious buttons were indispensable, adding a personal touch to the clothing and testifying to the wearer's sense of style. This set for the gentleman of the world dates from around 1925. In the interwar period, the British capital was a bustling metropolis in which a variety of social events always demanded the right wardrobe. It was good manners for gentlemen to wear tailcoats in this era. An indispensable accessory for this "king of evening wear" were precious buttons, which created decorative highlights on shirts and vests. However, these buttons always had to master the balancing act between representation and understatement. This set has achieved this balancing act particularly well: Rectangles of deep black onyx with flared narrow sides and small pearls have become buttons that could hardly be designed in a more simple, beautiful and elegant way. The set consists of cufflinks, four identical shirt buttons and two matching small collar buttons. It has been preserved in its original box. The elegant design of the buttons is reminiscent of the Art Deco style. Still the perfect accessory for the gentleman today!
