Art Deco French Celluloid Shoe Trims Pearl Cream and Chocolate Brown marked Bte S.G.D.G

Here is a pair of top quality Art Deco period (1920s - 1930s) shoe trims made of the early plastic Celluloid.  Each trim has three chocolate coloured geometric shapes. There are two triangles and a quadrilateral “flash” often seen in Art Deco designs from this period. These chocolate shapes are inlaid into a pearly cream background.  The actual shape of the shoe trim is a rectangle which is curved to ensure it will sit well when in use on a shoe.  These fashionable shoe buckle trims each measure 4cm by 2.5cm and are in great vintage condition.  To the back of each shoe trim to the centre there is a brass bar with  two oval cut outs which would have been for sewing or attaching the shoe trims.  They are marked  'made in France' with the letters Bte S.G.D.G which is the well known Brevete sans guarantee du government patent used by manufacturers to protect their work and designs. These Art Deco shoe trims would look amazing on custom-made soft leather pumps or could be used in any number of ways :- they would make beautiful hair ornaments or could adorn an antique or vintage handbag or hat band. With a little flair they would also work well as a sew-on accessory for the cuffs of a smart suit or formal frock.
