ART DECO PAINTED ENAMEL CHEVRON PATTERN BLUE BLACK POWDER COMPACT

Such a great chevron pattern on this blue black silver coloured Art Deco powder compact which I have just put on the web site.  Not perfect - which is reflected in the price - £88 - but not bad considering it is about 80 years old!  Not suitable to use but for a collection.  See lots of pictures and description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com   Not back at Alfies Antiques yet - but that will be opening on 23rd June.  I will have to wait a bit longer until I think it is safe to travel.  Ref: 3405 D56/14

FACETED VINTAGE COLOURED GLASS BEADS NECKLACE

This necklace was in a sorry state when I got it.  It consists of pairs of vintage coloured faceted beads strung into a medium size - nearly 22 inches - necklace.  I had to find more pairs of beads and a set of clear vintage spacer beads and replace the clasp.  Pleased, though, with the result.  Cannot find enough of the old vintage coloured faceted beads to make more necklaces. Have the smaller beads - but not the bigger ones. Love the colour of the central beads and would love a necklace of these beads.  This necklace is at home with me so it can be sold with Paypal.  Anything on my web site marked 'Available for Sale' can be sold.  The rest is probably locked away at Alfies Antiques which is still closed due to the virus.  Have no idea when it will be able to be reopened.  Ref: 3397 Price £65.
