It is a cavalry bridal rosette not a button. I am not sure of the time period. I have seen a handful of Civil War rosettes and yours looks a little more modern to me. Just my opinion...not an expert.

Nice find!!

PBK has identified those babies here before... they are attached to ammo pouches and leather gear... I'll try and find a pic.
