I bought this art deco mirror box from a junk shop in Brighton. I spied it in a dusty corner and paid just a few pounds for it. I've just given it a good polish and filled it with some of my favourite costume jewellery. The jewellery has the same worn and faded look as the box which I like.
My favourite piece is the bug brooch with the amber stone, which I've had since I was little.
love deco...what a wonderful find! love the treasure inside as well.

Thanks. I love art deco too. I'm pleased it polished up so well, as it was really dirty when I found it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great treasure to keep all your little treasures! I love old jewelry too ~ especially brooches... I have a few from my grandma. You just feel special wearing them!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. It's nice to know they belonged to someone before.
