EARLY PLASTIC DISPLAY IN MY SHOP AT ALFIES ANTIQUES

I have just spent and after tidying my display of early plastics - including bakelite, celluloid and galalith.  Unable to show more than one section in this picture - just the yellow, brown, orange hues.  The other colours - and the bangles - are on a different shelf space.  Also on the shelf are some metal, glass and wood items.  I can see bakelite necklaces, dress clips and earrings.  some celluloid brooches.  A yellow fabric bag with a celluloid top, some wooden bead brooches, Deco earrings, dog brooches and lots of assorted earrings.  I just love this period of costume jewellery and always try to have a good selection.  This of course are in just one of the many cabinets I have in the shop.  People thing Alfies is difficult to get to - but it is really quite easy - being near to St. Marylebone and Edgeware Road underground stations.  The 139 and 189 buses stop very near- as do the buses along the Edgeware Road.  The Rooftop Cafe sells excellent coffee and cakes and on a good day you can sit outside.  Would love to meet you so do pay a visit if you are a Deco fan!

PAIR c1940s GILT DRESS CLIPS WITH RED STONES

I really like dress clips!  This pair are heavier than some and would have been worn on a thick fabric.  They are made in a gold tone on brass metal and have deep red stones that have a cap on the end - to look like fruits or nuts.  There are 3 leaves on each too.  On my web site I have written some notes on ways to wear dress clips.  I would wear one of these on a chain round my neck.  I have not over cleaned this pair but you could clean them a little more if you wanted to.  I always have a good stock of different sorts of dress clips in my shop in central London - many more than is on the web site.  Price £88 for the pair.  Ref: 2974 C44/33
