Black collectibles (circa 1920 to 1950’s) produced in several countries (USA, Japan and Europe).

Usually feature black people in stereotypical situations such as performing household duties. After the 1950’s (post civil rights movement) black collectibles were considered insulting and derogatory and many pieces were destroyed and production of these pieces came to an end. However, in the 1970’s interest in these pieces returned especially among high profile African Americans. Black Americana collectors have brought profile to these pieces resulting in prices to rise.

I have always been drawn to things beautiful and artistic. As a former fashion make-up artist I find myself admiring the meticulous finished product. I am certain that in any creative pursuit, the outcome is all in the details. That is why I became a collector. My attention to, and knowledge of the pedigree of elegant high fashion accessories, fanciful items and vintage collectibles will provide you with a glimpse into the past. The workmanship evident in items made of Vintage Plastics, Bakelite, Lucite, Art Glass, Ceramics and Vintage Bead-Work is exceptional and difficult to find in today’s market.
