Keepsake
Celluloid, not the film sort is what this keepsake collection is all about. Rare and unusual celluloid, a type of plastic, was used to manufacture jewellery boxes and other accessories when ivory and horn were no longer acceptable or affordable. This small collection of trinket boxes is as unique as it is lovely. The objects are in beautiful condition and most date from the second half of the 20th Century. They sit beautifully alone or combined; either way, it’s hard to choose a favourite.
