Bakelite & Other Plastic Jewelry:BB107

ART DECO ICON ( French Bakelite Jewelry Brooch ): This wonderful brooch of American entertainer, Josephine Baker, is made of French Bakelite and textured metal. French Bakelite looks and feels like American Vintage Bakelite, but has a milk base. Josephine Baker went to Paris in the 1920’s and, with her exotic looks and sensational performance style, became a beloved Paris icon. Her name has become synonymous with Art Deco. Here she is hand painted in black, white and red over a translucent light and dark rootbeer base. Textured metal forms her extravagant collar and tiny metal beads and wires decorate her neck and ears. The arms on this clever pin are moveable! The pin back has a safety clasp. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3” long, 2 1/2” wide.
