Really Cool Art Deco Ladies Hat Pin &
Graziella Laffi Mottled Sterling and Enamel Duck Pin
We always like to find something different at Amazing Adornments to offer our clientele so when we saw this Art Deco hat pin we never hesitated on whether to purchase it. The ends are plastic. We tested them and they are not bakelite, nor are they celluloid. They do have a scent when using the hot water test that smells a little like burnt milk so we are going with galalith. Two rows of clear rhinestones are set in a stepped fashion. The ends screw off to allow the wearer to pass them through fabric of a hat, scarf or lapel. I am sure there are many ways to wear these, but we know they were very popular for hats during he Art Deco era. How many ways can you think of to wear this old period piece?

Graziella Laffi is a fine artist working out of Peru. I have heard her referred to as the Spratling of Peru. She was born in Florentine and her work is a fabulous combination of the old Pre- Columbian and the now and modern. This duck pin is exquisite. The blue enamel is mottled and the detailing is beautifully rendered. This is one of those pieces that some might have polished before presenting it for sale. There is a great deal of patina. We do not like to polish sterling pieces unless a client
requests that we do so. On rare occasions, a piece is so black we feel we have to lightly polish it order to search for the hallmark and present the piece. This piece is in as found condition
as most collectors want.
