June Meeting of Wenvoe W.I.

Also several members had brought some of their own ‘antiques’ ranging from an early Art Deco vase, two plates dating c 1930’s, a Folkestone button hook, a cameo brooch, an early gas lamp glass and a piece of an 1890’s doll’s tea set, as well as a few other artefacts. Viv, an antique collector and expert, examined them and then explained the value of each piece, with members describing their history and background.
