Another project at work. It’s a darkish blue dyed veneer that gets cerused. Banding is brushed brass. The button are all hand polished cause the quality of brass buttons is extremely poor. If anyone know of a high quality supplier of brass buttons, please let me know.
Are those buttons plated or solid? If I was looking for items like that, I'd probably begin with some upholstery vendors, though I'm sure you have already traveled all the paths like that in your quest.
There are also brass rivets for leather work, etc. but finding them large may be a prob.
Thank you for the suggestions. I actually haven’t checked places as it’s not my responsibility. But I will certainly look now. Hand polishing takes forever.
