PARROT BROOCH -HAND PAINTED

This is a post war, hand painted parrot brooch on perspex/lucite.  These were often quite crude on the back.  Some - especially the butterflies - were quite large and elaborate.  This one is rivited on the back, rather than stuck.  The paint is not worn on the back.  It is very lucky to have survived!  Price £33.  Ref: 432 B4/16.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/.

1950's PROGRAMME GLASSES - BLUE

Here are a pair of 1950's programme glasses.  These were magnifiers to read a programme etc. (not to see the stage!).  They were hung on a ribbon to wear round the neck or put in the handbag.  This pair is in dark blue plastic with carnival stones decoration and are pointed in typical 1950's fashion.  I also have 2 other pairs in my shop at Vintage Modes, Grays Antiques.  Price £48.  Ref: 435.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/

LUCITE HINGED BANGLE WITH STRIPED DECORATION

This is a wonderful find!  A ? lucite hinged bangle with a wild pattern of stripes on a gold fleck background.  I would think it was made in the late 1950's.  It is very well made and there is no damage.  The hinged spring works well.  It's certainly different and you are not going to see another one on the high street!  Price £65.  Ref@ 429 B2/22.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/

LEA STEIN SMALL SERIGRAPHY BROOCH - LADIES HEAD

Pleased with this find - in Paris - a small, Lea Stein serigraphy brooch.  These are quite rare and collectible.  I have bought bigger ones before - but have never had one so small - 3 cms diameter.  The colours too are good - lilac colour surround and pearlized background.  (Most of the other ones I have seen have had faux tortoishell surrounds.  I am sorry that small does not mean cheaper - this one cost me more!  It is £65.  Ref: 428/B4/18.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/.

JADE GREEN GALALITH CARVED STRETCH BRACELET


This is a galalith carved stretch bracelet in a gorgeous jade green colour!  This I would love to keep but I want to give someone else the chance to own it!  I has alternate segments of plain and floral carved galalith.  I have replaced the elastic.  Somehow it has managed to survive undamaged.  The colour is even better than it appears in my photograph.  Price £75.  Ref:  427 A187/34.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/

STANLEY HAGLER CRYSTAL DROPS CLIP EARRINGS


I was thrilled with these - a pair of Stanley Hagler crystal drops clip earrings - probably 1950/1960's but it is difficult to be sure.  They have the logo "Stanley Hagler" which was used from the late 1950's until 1983.  Not cheap - but wonderful for a collector!  They have tiny flat backed, prong set glass stones around the top of the bead caps.  I don't know how they set these - they are so small.  Would not like to try it!  Ref: 425 A151/21.  price £140 http://www.gillianhorsup.com/

BLACK & CRYSTAL BEADS 'TIE' NECKLACE


A 'tie' necklace made of black and clear glass beads!  Think it's 1970's - 1980's.  These necklaces were usually made of faux pearls - this one is made of glass and is heavier.  Has a great look.  Ref: 422B1/5.  Price £58.  http://www.gillianhorsup.com/
