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.

LEA STEIN FOX BROOCH - MUSICAL SYMBOLS

I have been in lockdown for a long time but from 1st June I will be venturing out to the Post Office.  Most of my stock is in Alfies Antiques - and I cannot travel there yet to get anything.  I will be putting some new things up on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - and I will put at the bottom of the description that it is currently for sale.  Paypal will be the only way of paying.  This Lea Stein musical notes fox brooch is currently up for sale.  I love Lea Stein's work and this is one of the more unusual pieces.  It is in an offwhite colour with black notation.  Please contact me if you are interested.  It is a genuine Lea Stein - I have nothing whatsoever to do with the fakes/copies.  It is marked with the correct pin 'Lea Stein Paris'.  Price £65 ref: 3394 D54/2

COLLECTION OF KOBI JAPANESE CELLULOID CHARMS

As the lockdown progresses I still cannot leave the house to post items - most of which are actually locked away in Alfies Antiques.  These are my own collection of Kobi Japanese celluloid charms.  I particularly love the 'googly' eyes one - that pop out! 

LEA STEIN BROOCH - HALF COLERETTE - BLACK, RED, IVORINE & GOLD

This is the

Lea Stein half colerette brooch. In Judith Just's book 'Lea Stein Jewelery' (Schiffer) it is also referred to as 'Modern Woman' but is not normally referred to that way. The hat is a shiny patterned brown/beige colour. The face is ivorine with a black eye. The piece over the ear is a red/MOP pattern with a circular piece in the middle. The colorette is black with gold markings. It measures roughly two inches diameter. It is a genuine Lea Stein brooch with Lea Stein Paris on the pin. (Please see picture of the back). Ref: 3388 D54/10

1920s FLAPPER RED AND BLACK GLASS BEADS DRAWSTRING BAG

This is a flapper period, 1920s red ad black glass beads drawstring bag.  The beads are in surprisingly good condition for the age of the bag.  The black beads are more of a black/grey colour.  It would have been carried with a flapper style dress for evening wear.  (Think Downton Abbey).  The lining is red.  It has a drawstring cord.  Full details on the web site - www.gillianhorsup.com  Price £88 Reference 3387 D84/19

MARIE-CHRISTINE PAVONE PURPLE CAT BROOCH

This is a purple cat brooch made by Marie-Christine Pavone.  It is made currently from reworked galalith.  Galalith is an older plastic - a form of casein.  She cuts and polished it to a high degree.  This has come from Pavone so is in unused condition.  It has two glass eyes and painted decoration.  It is signed 'Pavone' on the back.  I have not had a Pavone cat in this colour purple before!  It measures approx 3 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches.  Price £65 ref: 3383 D54/13
