Vintage Sterling Silver by Deakin and Francis - Money Clip with vivid Arts & Crafts / Art Nouveau original painting of flowers, fern? and leaves - reminds me of a William Morris design Suitable for men or women as a money clip For a women could be used as a pendant for a necklace or as a scarf pin Hallmarked 1935 (Art Deco era) Very beautiful and unusual vintage sterling silver money clip which works perfectly well as a money clip but if you added a silver necklace (needs to have small links) by threading it through the top part of the clip on the back you could then wear it as a necklace. You could also wear it as a scarf pin. The clip mechanism on the back works really well - really snaps too - with a strong grip which makes the pendant and scarf pin option viable. Please note the silver chain, £5 pound note in the photos are NOT included in the auction - they are just props to show the possiblities of how to use or wear the item As far as I can make out the design is an original painting which is covered with curved glass in a cabochon silver setting. It has a clip mechanism on the back Please note that in the photo there are some reflections in the glass from my window - sorry!! It is a sort of floral / flower design with a fern and a leaves. Background of the painting is light blue then the colours used in the painting are green red white and a vivid royal blue with a metallic gold used for tiny, tiny dots and also to highlight of the plants. It reminds me of a William Morris design and the Arts and Crafts era. So although it is hallmarked 1935 (date marked L) eg Art Deco it reminds me of the earlier era of Art Nouveau / Arts and Crafts It is very clearly hallmarked on the back D & F for Deakin and Francis (a jewellery making business which is still going and is now famous for making cuff links, an anchor for Birmingham, Lion for Sterling Silver and L for 1935. The clip is also hallmarked. Certainly, as a money clip (maybe even a tie pin) this item is suitable for a man Width - 4.7 cm round approx I have cleaned it just a bit with a jewellery cleaning cloth and it comes up beautifully Excellent condition - please see the photos To be totally accurate there are a couple of tiny scratches on the glass plus a couple of really minute, minute dents in the glass - think of the end of a needle - these might have been there when it was made. To see the above you have to hold it close and keep turning it to make them catch the light and maybe even use a loupe so really not noticeable in the slightest.
