{"product_id":"kirby-beard-co-money-clip-silver","title":"Money Clip | Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn understated vintage piece, this Kirby Beard \u0026amp; Co money clip is a minimalist example that would not look out of place in a modern context. The company itself has an intriguing and rich history that only adds to the significance of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoney clips became fashionable accessories in Europe and America during the early 20th century, and in the decades since they have continued to retain their appeal. This piece was created for Kirby, Beard \u0026amp; Co., a company whose history dates back to 1743, and was initially established as a pin-making concern based in Gloucester, London. It's unknown when the company made the exact pivot, but they eventually transitioned from making pins into creating luxury pieces and jewellery, as well as a variety of other things, including household objects. At the height of their influence, they had locations in London, Birmingham, Redditch, Paris, New York, and Montreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example hails from their Paris location, as noted by the slightly faded \"Kirby Beard \u0026amp; Co Paris\" engraving on the reverse of the clip. Below the hallmarks, the word \"Angleterre\" is engraved, a nod to the fact that this was created for the French market. It is a suitably elegant, yet subtle piece that will add a touch of vintage charm to everyday life. The grid pattern is beautifully textured, and perhaps less ornate compared to other examples, but would not be out of place in a modern minimalist set-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.088%; height: 199.188px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003eKirby Beard \u0026amp; Co\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eObject:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003emoney clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003eminimalist design\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003esilver\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003e1976\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 24.6429%;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px; width: 75%;\"\u003e7 x 13 x 43 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pleasingly simple money clip are in overall good condition.
