DESCRIPTION:
A collection of attractive hatpins stick or jabot pins dating from the Art Deco period early 20th century. The finials are decorated in brown, white and gold with a combination of celluloid faux pearl, sequins, and twisted metallic braid. The example in amber glass is particularly pretty. These short shafted ornaments can also function as lapel or stick pins to ornament a lapel or sweater.
These hat ornaments are part of a large British private collection. Other items from the collection are shown in the final picture. The collage picture shows the huge hats of the period which these accessories were designed to ornament and secure.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
Hatpins reached a peak of popularity between the 1890s and 1920s. Having originated in the 1850s to secure straw hats, hatpins became longer and more ornate over time. 1910 was the extreme of hatpin length, with the stems alone reaching 10 to 12 inches.
With the decline of large elaborate hats and the advent of the close fitting cloche, hatpins were of much smaller proportions. Rather than holding the hat in place they were now designed to decorate it. Art Deco period hatpins, of which these are typical, are mostly of celluloid pearl effect, fabric, sequins and braid. These hatpins made from metal decorated with pearls and rhinestones or ornate celluloid effects were commercially produced. The examples with twisted cord or sequins wound around a round or pear shaped fabric core were probably custom made by milliners to co-ordinate with a particular hat or ensemble.

Return Policy
You may initiate a return of this item within 3 days of delivery. More DetailsShipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
As a disabled non driver I ship twice weekly (usually tuesday and friday) as I have to pay someone to visit the post office. Standard shipping is via the post office/Royal Mail international signed for (eg 1-3 weeks to USA). Normal shipping schedule may be subject to alteration during major holiday periods. We can provide Fedex expedited shipping at extra cost on request (eg 2/3 days to USA). Buyers are responsible for supplying a correct and up to date address on the platform. We cannot accept responsibility for shipping difficulties which may arise when buyer's address details are incorrect. In this case the package will return to us and any expense for re-sending will be billed to the buyer. This is industry standard. Returns: RETURNS FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM - VERY IMPORTANT: The UK has a very low import threshold and all items imported from outside the United Kingdom are liable to attract import tax. Items returned from outside the UK must closely follow our returns procedure. In particular packages must be clearly marked (preferably on the customs label) with the words "RETURNED GOODS - NO TAX PAYABLE". Unfortunately we are unable to accept out of pocket expenses to recover our own property as a result of the above procedure not being followed. Any package which returns to us with a customs charge attached will be refused and will return to the buyer to be correctly re-sent. We only accept returns in "same condition as sent." This is industry standard. We cannot accept returns which have been in any way altered or amended by the buyer or which are damaged or missing essential parts which were included at the time of sale. This applies also to items which arrive safely and are subsequently damaged while in possession of the buyer. If the error is ours (for example we sent an incorrect item or one which we agree was grossly mis-described) we will refund buyers reasonable return costs for using a similar service to that originally used (eg USPS or a national postal service). Buyer pays for actual shipping, handling and insurance for items where the reason for return is not due directly to our error. Responsibility for returning items to us in "same condition as sent" rests with the buyer. For this reason we recommend obtaining proof of postage and using a tracked/insured service. Returned items which are lost or damaged in transit remain buyers responsibility and it will be necessary for them to make a claim from their postal service. As per industry standard, we are only able to provide a refund once the item is back in our hands in same condition as sent. This also applies to items returned to us because the buyer abandoned them or failed to make delivery arrangements for items left at the post office. Lost, damaged and abandoned items. For items damaged in transit TO the buyer we will submit a claim to our insurers on production of clear photographic evidence of the damaged item and packaging materials (if appropriate). We can only accept photographs sent as a jpg attachment to an email. We are unable to accept pictures sent via mobile/cel-phones (mms) For items "lost in the mail" we will submit a claim to Royal Mail (if appropriate) or forward necessary documentation for buyer to make a claim with their own postal service if the transaction references an item sent outside the United Kingdom. Packages which are refused by the buyer or not picked up from the post office are treated as "abandoned". Should we incur any out of pocked expenses (eg courier fees) as a result of such actions these will be deducted from any refund due to the buyer.Layaway Policy
