Description

The listing, Antique Ivory Piano Key Pieces for Crafting / Jewelry has ended.

Please enjoy the auction process, it's fun! I will not offer a GIN on these, thanks for understanding....

I have a bunch of antique ivory piano keys, I purchased them from a lady who pulled them off an antique piano that had been in her family since the 1910s or 20s (she couldn't remember the exact date). This is pre-embargo ivory, not plastic, not bone.

You will get 29 pieces total, the exact pieces you see pictured, they are fragments, some are very close to a whole key but may have a corner missing, some are half a key, some are the skinny piece at the top of the key that goes between the black keys, some are small corner chips...

they are in the condition I received them. Some have wood fragments still attached to the back. I liked the natural patina, but you may want to clean them, depends on the look your are going for.

A variety of sizes and shapes, great for crafting, jewelry making, scrapbooking, collage, mixed media, mosaics... etc. I thought I would use them in crafts or jewelry making but hand surgeries have stalled my jewelry making abilities so I'm passing them along.

I've been doing folk art/outsider art for 35 years. I have so many projects in front of me, and irons in the fire, I'm not sure if it will ever happen. At age 67 I usually try to help young folk be creative and express ideas. Your listing stimulated my imagination. I actually have a cigar box full of perfect antique ivory piano keys. My neighbor up the street has an old antique piano with lots of broken ivory keys. I'm turning into a compulsive bidder, instead of a seller! </;o)

I do the same thing, I can think of a million cool ideas to do, but I am only one person with a busy life and I need to be realistic about what I want to spend time on... which is why I will be selling a lot of my supplies, things like this... if you do get around to it, I hope it's gorgeous!

F&W. These would look great chained together into the stylized shape of an elephant!
