Antique / Vintage Edwardian to Art Deco Exotic Ethnic Inlay Dress Clip - Chinoiserie Look Greek Key - Glossy Black w Silver Inlay

Edgy little Art Deco dress clip:

~ Small but mighty - this really packs a visual punch and makes a statement

~ Exotic ethnic inlaid Chinoiserie - esque or stylized Greek key design

~ Glossy early black plastic with silver toned decoration

~ Ready and waiting for your dress, collection, and/or gift giving

ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True antique / vintage piece - guessing Edwardian to early Art Deco time period - 1910's to 1920's in age

METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Early black plastic material and silver or silver toned metal inlaid design. The silver portion is non-magnetic and I strongly suspect that is sterling silver - but without a mark I can't say for certain

CLOSURE/CLASP = Dress clip hardware

MARKS = None that I could find

TESTING = Negative for bakelite using both the rub and smell and Simichrome methods

MEASUREMENTS = About 1 3/8" x 15/16"

US RING SIZE = x

WEIGHT = 3.6 grams on my scale

INVENTORY NUMBER = x

CONDITION = Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. Just some normal tarnishing to the silver and some prong and wear marks on the reverse side. In an excellent state of preservation overall.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
