Description
Antique Victorian Edwardian Art Deco Blackpool Tower Brooch Carved Celluloid Early Plastic Hand Painted. Collectors Item.
Circa 1900’s
A very charming antique Edwardian, hand-painted celluloid, Blackpool Tower brooch. The brooch has a long pin and simple C catch on the reverse.
The Mayor of Blackpool visited the Paris Exhibition in 1889 and he was so impressed with the Eiffel Tower that he commissioned a similar one to be built in Blackpool. Work commenced in 1891 and the tower was completed and opened in 1894.
This would have been an early souvenir. It’s in wonderful condition with no damage. I’ve never seen another like it. Perfect for a Collector, or to wear and enjoy!
