18th Century Sleeve Links (Video)

 A short little video about sleeve links.

Here's a link to my sleeve buttons pinterest board.

There's a huge number of sleeve buttons on finds.org.uk, and a lot on the Museum of London website too. On scribd.com there are two documents with pictures of more 18th century sleeve links, and 18th century notebook also has a page of them.

Places that sell reproduction sleeve buttons include Sign of the Gray Horse, Najecki Reproductions, Goosebay Workshops, and Wm. Booth Draper. At The Easter Door has some too, but I can't see any indication on the website of how to actually buy them.

Here are all the images used in the video:

A Boy Drawing by Nicolas Bernard Lépicié.

Fleetwood Hesketh by Joseph Wright of Derby, 1769.

Portrait of Jacques Dumont Le Romain Playing the Guitar by Maurice-Quentin de la Tour.

Industry and Idleness (panel 7) by William Hogarth, 1747.

Portrait of Deborah Glen, c. 1730's.

Portrait of Elizabeth "Betje" Van Dyck Vosburg, c. 1725.

Portrait of Louis-Francois Roubiliac by Adrien Carpentiers, 1762

An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby, 1768 (detail).

The rest of these are all archaeological finds from Portable Antiquities Scheme, so I'll just leave links to the individual object pages, which have a bunch more information.
