That`s beautiful.
I have a question. Are those military buttons from the Civil War gilded? or painted? I kind of forgot they were shiny gold back in the day!

Yes, what you see is the remaining gilt from the 1860's when the button was made.. Most of them don't hold up very well and the gilt flakes off but every now and again you get lucky and find one with some or most of the plating left
