$28.13

  • Details
    A beautiful vintage Bakelite bar brooch, dating to the mid-20th century (circa 1940s–1950s).

    This slim, elegant piece measures approximately 7cm in length and features a striking metallic striped / faux wood-grain effect, either painted or naturally formed within the Bakelite itself — a lovely example of the experimental finishes popular during the mid-century period.

    The brooch is fitted with an original early pin fitting (C-clasp), typical of the era and a good indicator of age, predating modern safety clasps.

    A versatile piece that works beautifully on coats, knitwear, scarves or dresses — understated, sculptural, and quietly glamorous in that very mid-century way.

    Details:
    Era: 1940s–1950s
    Material: Bakelite
    Style: Slim bar brooch
    Length: Approx. 7cm
    Fastening: Original early pin / C-clasp

    (Please note minor age-related wear consistent with a piece of this era)

    A lovely addition for collectors of Bakelite jewellery, mid-century design lovers, or anyone who appreciates timeless vintage accessories with history stitched into them.
