A carved amber Bakelite frame, and silk velvet clutch/handbag, 1930s.
About the Item
An intricately carved Bakelite frame from the 1930s, with stylised flower and branch motifs, is attached to a black silk velvet clutch , which is piped in black silk, to create this very smart and period clutch. Possibly German in origin, judging by the carved Bakelite, this has had a new bag and lining attached, made from vintage fabric. Very classic, very wearable for either formal or informal occasions. Very Art Deco style!

View AllA rare hand coloured celluloid and silk velvet 'rose' handbag, France, 1920s.
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A real collector's piece, and conversation point, this highly imaginative and charming handbag design is a rarity, and is wonderful to use and wear.
The centre of the 'rose' pulls to one side, releasing the catch, hence allowing the bag to open. The top is made from delicately hand curled 'petals' of coloured celluloid, the actual frame in dark green is robust and strong, with stronger green leaves, underlying the 'bloom'. The bag is made from mole brown silk velvet, with a black 'ruffled' trim highlight.
