Button HookEntry/Object ID
2022.2.3.8Description
The decorative utilitarian design metal button hook is 5.25-inch x 1-inch wide at the handle. From clothing to shoes, buttons were the mainstay of fashion for thousands of years. It was not unusual for ladies’ boots to have 20 to 30 tiny buttons that were almost impossible to fasten by hand. Most button hooks were designed with ornate handles. The round open-designed handle allowed for easy grasp while pulling the button through the material or leather.Location
