A button hook is a tool that makes it easier to fasten buttons even when wearing gloves.
This work was created by Henry Matthews of Birmingham, England in 1897.

The sterling silver handle is embossed with a scroll design.
The plating on the steel hooks is thin in some areas, but there is no rust or other damage.
