DE LUXE - POSY HOLDER - VINTAGE GLASS FLOWERS AND LEAVES SPRAY BROOCH

This brooch has been made by De Luxe - who specialise in making contemporary pieces from old components. I have included it in the vintage section as the most important components are glass vintage pieces. I understand that this is a sample. It consists of a posy holder in white metal with wires holding vintage glass flowers and leaves - in white, orange and green colours. The flowers have a diamente centre. For some reason there is one pearl! This brooch is obviously made by hand. The glass pieces are held in place by twisted wires. I do not know if this brooch went into production. I love this brooch - it is quirky and considerable effort has gone into making it!  Price £65 Reference 2712 C3/13 www.gillianhorsup.com  #DeLuxePosyHolderBrooch

CZECH NECKLACE C 1930'S - ORANGE GLASS & METALWORK

 
I am a lover of Czech vintage jewellery and have just got this pendant necklace.  Probably from the 1930's - it has orange glass cabochon stones and, although the metal work was originally silver metal on brass, it has aged to a nice combination of the two.  The chain contains orange glass beads and two long thin glass beads - which luckily are still in one piece.  See full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.

ART DECO SHORT HAT PIN/HAT FLASH - MOTH

I always have a good selection of the Art Deco hat flashes/cloche pins.  This one is a bit more unusual.  It is in the shape of a largish moth - cream with green decoration.  I always provide a hat pin end.  These hat pins can also be worn on a garment - with the end to prevent it falling off.  Price £45.  Reference 2704 J6.  See my web site for some of the other examples I have.  #ArtDecoHatFlash #ArtDecoMothHatFlash #ArtDecoHatPin #MothHatPin
