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!

A rare hand coloured celluloid and silk velvet 'rose' handbag, France, 1920s.

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. Many bakelite and celluloid bags...
