Antique Art Déco Gablonz Sample Card, Bakelite Dress Clips and Buckles, Fashion Accessories, Czechoslovakia Circa 1930

Experience a fantastic piece of fashion history. An original sales representative sample card from the world-famous Gablonz workshops of the Art Déco era circa 1930. This artistic presentation card impresses with a total of 12 fine fashion accessories, consisting of 7 expressive dress clips and 5 belt buckles or decorative buckle elements. The creations fascinate through masterfully processed early plastics (Galalith, Celluloid, or Bakelite) in vivid colors such as green, bright red, azure blue, and noble black. Special highlights include the colorful geometric patterns, filigree hand-painted details, and refined metal inlays. Proof of Origin: The close-up photo of the maker's mark comes from originally matching components (clips/buckle) that were damaged and are not included in this listing. The photo serves solely to confirm the authenticity and country of origin.

One object appears to be missing from the card, which authentically bears witness to its historical use, as coveted sample pieces were often detached on-site as working samples during customer presentations in the 1930s. All objects remain in unused original condition and are originally sewn onto the cardboard display board. The mark of origin Czechoslovakia is stamped onto the metal clips of detached reference pieces from this series (see photo). An exquisite historical document of Czech craftsmanship that enriches any high-caliber costume jewelry collection, with age-appropriate signs of wear, function not tested. The item is offered without a display stand.
