BEDFORD. A set of six fine gilt livery buttons of the Russell family, Dukes of Bedford

BEDFORD. A set of six fine gilt 27mm livery buttons of the Duke of Bedford showing the badge of the Duke, a goat, beneath a ducal coronet. The Russell family have held the dukedom since the mid 16th century and the family seat of Woburn Abbey was one of the first great stately houses to be opened to the public. These examples probably date from the late 19th century at the time of the 11th Duke, The button retains full original gilt and has the bakcmark FIRMIN & SONS LD, 47 WARWICK ST. REGENT ST. LONDON. jun1/4

The price is for the set of six. Looking through our srock of livery buttons we have found several where we are able to offer a set of six, such as would suit a double breasted blazer.
