Ah, that cheerful Art Deco orange! Doesn't it light up your face with a smile, whenever you see it on jewelry or pottery? Here, the juicy tangerine shade adorns a 6-inch button hook for your vanity.
Its vivid Bakelite handle comprises 3 3/4 inches of that length. Styled in a bold V shape, it's flat at the back, but the front has step-cut sides that are hard to photograph due to the glare. Along with the width, the thickness of the handle also increases gradually toward the top, for a powerful sense of streamlined motion.
The piece is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks, only a few superficial scratches, and the metal hook shows no rust and is securely attached. Besides being ornamental, this could still be very useful for doing up evening gloves.
There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Thanks for looking!

This is a truly remarkable antique bronze letter opener and paper knife from the 19th century - dating from the Gothic Revival era in mid-Victorian England, and certainly no later than the Renaissance Revival era a little later. It was acquired by its former owner at a London antiques fair in the 1980s. About 10 1/4" long and 3" wide at the hilt, this piece is as beautifully detailed on the back as on the front and in magnificent condition.
What could be a more perfect gift for your Knight in Shining Armor? Of course Fair Maidens can always use beautiful antique paper knives, too.
Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request additional photos. Thanks for looking!
