Description
The Kalo Shop Chicago Sterling Silver Shoe Clips & matching Brooch. Handwrought Arts & Crafts Silver. Art Nouveau SHOE CLIPS A very special find - two identical Art Nouveau Kalo Sterling Silver Clips. I believe these clips were originally intended as shoe clips, due to the clip mechanism (it has 3 pointy spikes). These could be worn on a coat, shoes, or handbag. Marks: KALO STERLING (both are marked) Size: about 2" long. Spring clip works as intended, nice & tight. BROOCH About 1.25" Long No noted issues. Marked KALO HANDWROUGHT Sterling Both have been recently polished. Wonderful design from the famous Kalo Shop of Chicago. (1900-1970) No noted condition issue other than expected surface wear on the silver.
