LEA STEIN BROOCH - SOCKS THE DOG - RED & BLACK

Not had much time to spend on internet as we are having to move from Grays Antiques to Alfies Antiques in Marylebone - not too far - but the move is going to be horrendous.  I think we will be open for about another two weeks then the serious packing and moving will be taking place.  Anyway today's piece is a Lea Stein Socks the Dog brooch in red, black, silver and mother of pearl.  Full details are as usual on the web site - www.gillianhorsup.com and the price is as usual £65.  Ref: 3183 D5/47  Unfortunately we will have to change the phone number for our new shop but full details will be on the web site.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - THE FROG -SPARKLEY BLACK & IVORINE

The Lea Stein frog brooch in a lightly sparkley black and ivorine.  Great combination of colours.  I particularly like the eyes - black in the front and ivorine at the back.  Just one of the Lea Steins I have in my shop.  Ref: 3182 £65

VINTAGE BLACK ENAMEL, BLUE FLOWERS, COMPACT FOR LOOSE POWDER - UNUSED

I adore vintage accessories - especially make up items and always like to have some in my shop in central London.  This compact is unused and has very pretty blue flowers on a black enamel background.  The metal is gilt.  The mirror is in good condition - but it does not have a puff or pouch.  Full details on my web site.  Ref: 3180 D7/37 Price £65

1960/70s VINTAGE GOLD TONE, COLOURED STONES, MESH CUFF LINKS

In my shop at Grays Antiques I like to have a wide variety of vintage costume items - and try to include some items for men.  This is a pair of 1960/70s cuff links with a large rivoli glass stone and a mesh band - which completely detaches.  A rivoli glass stone is a faceted upwards pointed stone - and this one is in mixed colours - red, blue, mauve.  It is unused shop stock from Spain.  Please see all the picture on my web site (follow the link).  Ref: 3178 D7/2

GREEN, RED & MAUVE CABOCHON GLASS STONES & GOLD TONE VINTAGE CLIP EARRINGS

1980s costume jewellery was often colourful, large and goldtone.  I think these clip earrings are from that period but they are not too large - being about 2 inches top to bottom.  Classic colours to match real gemstones.  Good condition.  Just right if you have an outfit for them to go with.  Ref: 3175 D5/7

VINTAGE SEWING CONTAINERS

Due to the fact that I will be moving to Alfies Antiques at the end of May 2018, I am taking these sewing containers home for safe keeping!  If anyone would like to see them please contact me and I can bring them back to the shop.  They are also available to buy.  Some are celluloid and the needle containers are

metal.

MONTY DON, VINTAGE, SMALL, MULTICOLOURED GLASS STONES BROOCH

In my shop in Grays Antiques - in central London - I like to sell a wide variety of vintage costume jewellery.  Was delighted to find this 1980s brooch by Monty Don - the famous TV gardening presenter.  In the 1980s he was famous as a costume jewellery producer but unfortunately the firm crashed early in the 1990s.  I find it hard to find his pieces - which is strange because his output was quite large.  Maybe people do not part up with his pieces.   Full description on my web site.  Price £68 ref: 3173.
