LEA STEIN BROOCH - THE MATCHSTICK

Now this is really an unusual Lea Stein brooch.  In all the years I have been selling Lea Stein I have never seen another one!  It is in the shape of a matchstick!  It doesn't have the usual v-shaped pin of course - because it would not go on.  The pin just says 'Lea Stein'.  This would be so good for a collector! their website is here - price £68 reference 2488 B73/33 - I usually have a good selection of Lea Stein in my shop at Vintage Modes, Grays antiques in central London.

CELLULOID COCKTAIL STICKS

Just love these celluloid cocktail sticks - probably from the 1950's.  Painted in gold, red, white and blue - they would look good on any bar!  I have in the past had these with various tops - food, naked ladies etc.  but they are getting much harder to find.  See full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - ref: 2482 B110/10 price £25.

DEEP BLUE BUTTERFLY ENAMELLED SILVER BROOCH

Where have all the butterflies gone!  There's hardly any in my garden this year.  I expect the long, hard winter has killed off a lot of them - hope more will return next year.  I was lucky to find this brillian blue enamelled silver butterfly brooch recently.  It has blue wings and a green body.  Full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £75 reference 2471 B112/55

LOUIS FERAUD - GILT CIRCLES BRACELET

Have been reading up on Louis Feraud - the French fashion designer (see Wikipedia).

I have one of his gilt bracelets.  Found that the jewellery line was started in 1997 - so the bracelet is not very old.  It is quite distinctive though with its circular, criss cross pattern.  Full description and measurements on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £88 ref: 2473 B115/29
