Deco Geometric Black Bakelite Chrome and Enamel Pin

Estate Jewelry: Costume: Bakelite Pre 1930: item #411122

Of black Bakelite or some other early plastic, this antique Art Deco brooch is sleek and sophisticated. Accentuating its streamlined form are radiant geometric overlays of finely detailed silver metal (likely chromium or rhodium) at each end. Of impressive size, this dazzler measures about 2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches. Probable dating is late 1920s and, although it was acquired in England, it looks French to me.

I was the first person to bend the chrome hook and close the buckle, when making sure it will be sturdy and wearable for you.
