The sterling silver boot hook, also known as a button hook or boot button hook, is a tool that originated in the Victorian era. The tool was designed to assist in fastening buttons on boots, gloves, and other tightly fitted garments, and became an essential accessory during a period when clothing often featured numerous small buttons, which could be difficult to manipulate by hand.
