Deep Carved Bakelite Rose Brooch circa 1935 - 1940 (SOLD)

This is a really nice bakelite rose, every petal and layer has been finely detailed.   This hand-carved Rose brooch is a good example of Bakelite jewelery from the 1930's and 1940's.   Originally this pin would have been Cream in colour with the Bakelite used to imitate Ivory or Bone.  Over the 60 plus years that this piece of jewellery has been around it has oxidised to a warm, rich amber colour - just the thing that Bakelite collectors look out for!   The rose is deep-carved and is approximately 2.5 cms in diameter and about 1.5cms thick at its biggest point.  It is in very good condition and has a brass pin and 'c' type fastener to the back which are screwed into the bakelite.
