About Us
Welcome to Worth.
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 resins, Bakelite, glass, ceramics and vintage beadwork is exceptional and difficult to find in today’s market.
I began by collecting Murano glass. I realized that what I admired and fell in love with was the creativity, craftsmanship and exacting quality evident in these art pieces. Each and every work is unique. It is this uniqueness that captures the imagination. I looked at everything I came upon through a different lens. An unassuming cosmetic compact box became a work of art. A luminous lucite flower captured points of light; vintage costume strands and bangles became garlands of elegant colour. There is room for kitsch, fun and fashion. More serious pieces remind us of an era when individuality was expressed with panache in an array of great accessories, and household wares were fanciful and reflected the culture of the times.
I have selected all the pieces you find on my shop site because they are small masterpieces and have the intricate "detail" and caprice to make the old new again. Passion, design and classic images are timeless.
Thank you for visiting Worth Antiques Collectibles emporium. Enjoy your shopping trip.
