A silver knot, this button takes a single twisted form and renders it as a small sculptural object. The knot is a form that reads as both decorative and structural, its interlacing giving a compact button a sense of continuous worked movement.
Buttons like this were part of the everyday production that ran alongside Spratling's jewelry and hollowware, well-resolved small forms made in quantity. With only the knot form recorded for it, the piece is best understood simply as a clean expression of that motif, the kind of modest object that comes to market only occasionally.
