History of the ball button

What today serves the safety of the chef still protected the button at the beginning of the 19th century: double buttonholes on chef jackets were closed at that time, as were cuffs, in order to be able to remove the precious buttons before washing. One of the earliest testimonies of the ball button is an engraving in Marie-Antoines Carême's standard work "Le Maître d'hôtel français". In this picture, the pioneer of French cuisine, who catered Napoleon's wedding, shows chefs in classic chef jackets fastened with the typical ball buttons.
