ART DECO SOLID PERFUME POTS

Here are some Art Deco solid perfume pots from the 1920/30s.  Some of these are in my shop and others are part of my collection.  They are very small - under 1 inch usually.  They are made of bakelite or celluloid and have great painted pictures on them - usually flowers or ladies.  They are such a great thing to collect as they take up so little space.  Please contact me if you collect and wish to purchase.  Prices usually range from about £20-£40.  Larger ones can cost more.  www.gillianhorsup.com and at Grays Antiques in central London.

YELLOW BAKELITE DICE - SOLID PERFUME CONTAINER

This is a yellow bakelite solid perfume container in the shape of a dice - Art Deco - from the 1920/1930s.  It is a novelty item - quite different from the usual  solid perfume containers of the time. They were usually quite small - this one is 4/5ths of an inch approx.  See full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £40 reference 2617 B138/1

KIGU FLYING SAUCER COMPACT - 1950'S

This is the iconic 1950's Kigu flying saucer compact.  There were 3 types made - the one with the musical movement, this one without and a plain gilt one.  The enamelled one came in different colours - but the deep blue was the most common colour.  There was a lot of interest in space travel in the 1950's.  There is a full description of the compact on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2616 b133/36 price £295 together with a condition report.

ART DECO HAT FLASH/CLOCHE PIN, BLACK CELLULOID AND DIAMENTE

Here's a large Art Deco hat flash or cloche pin.  These were worn in the hats of the period and had short pins.  This would come with a hat pin end.  They could be worn in a hat, beret or on a jacket lapel.  They could also brighten up a Deco clutch bag.  Full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £35 reference 2615 J.

CZECH GILT FILIGREE VINTAGE DRESS CLIP WITH RED GLASS BEADS

This is a good example of a Czech dress clip from the 1930's.  It is made in gilt filigree metal with red glass beads.  See full details on my web site.  Also I have an entry describing dress clips and how to wear them.   www.gillianhorsup.com - price £75 reference 2613 Eve.  I always have a good selection of dress clips in my shop at Vintage Modes, Grays Antiques - do pay a visit!

3 FLEXIBLE, MACHINE CUT, GOLD TONE BRACELETS - 1970/80s

I just love these gold plated bracelets.  They are machine cut, flexible and very good quality.  I usually have a selection in stock.  (If you are visiting my shop at Grays antiques please do let me know before hand if you want to see a selection - not everything on the web site is in the shop - not enough room!).  See full details on my web site under 'vintage bracelets'.  They are usually about 8 inches in length and priced between £65 and £75.  Reference 2610.

J. TOSTRUP - NORWAY - BLUE ENAMEL ABSTRACT BROOCH

I love enamel and this mid century modern brooch by J. Tostrup fits the bill!  It is in a vibrant blue colour.  It is marked 'Sterling J Tostrup Norway'.  As it does not have a British (or equivalent) Hall mark it cannot be sold as Sterling in this country.  However Tostrup is a very respected Norwegian firm so I am quite happy about it.  Full details are on my web site - including dimensions.  Ref: 2606 B130/7 Price £115 - and there are more photos.

KARL LAGERFELD - 2 BRUSHES - GOLD TONE LARGE BROOCH

Here's a Karl Lagerfeld brooch in the shape of 2 brushes.  It is in gold tone and is quite heavy.  I have no idea of the date - so it might - or might not - be vintage.  Full details are on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2605 B128/41.  Price £95. #KarlLagerfeldBrooch

LEA STEIN BROOCH - TALL SITTING CAT - BLACK & GREY

This is the taller sitting cat measuring nearly 4 inches top to bottom.  This one in in a black colour with striped grey back and tail.  Look good on a light coloured garment.  Difficult to photograph though - the light bounces off the black!  Price £60 reference 2605 B135/11 www.gillianhorsup.com for full details.  Just one of many that I have in my shop in Vintage Modes, Grays Antiques in central London.  # Lea Stein Brooch # Lea Stein Cat
