An unusual antique pictorial button featuring a beautifully detailed swan with its wings raised and feathers highlighted in gold against a darkened metal background. The silvery, dotted background cleverly imitates the appearance of a screen, although the design is actually stenciled rather than a true screen back. Found on a card of screen-back buttons, this is an interesting variation!
