$135.00
Brilliant cherry red color, bold geometric carving, and unmistakable Art Deco styling define this exceptional matched pair of authentic vintage Bakelite dress clips. Simichrome tested and confirmed genuine, each clip features a beautifully streamlined tapered silhouette enhanced by crisp diagonal carved grooves that create movement, texture, and architectural depth. Their sculptural design captures the elegance of the Art Deco era while remaining remarkably modern, making them equally striking on dresses, jackets, sweaters, lapels, hats, scarves, handbags, or other vintage fashion accessories. Genuine carved Bakelite dress clips in matching pairs continue to be highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, versatility, and timeless design.
Each clip is carefully sculpted from richly colored cherry red Bakelite and polished to a beautiful gloss that highlights the material's depth, warmth, and saturated color. Five sharply defined diagonal incised lines sweep across the upper portion of each clip, creating dramatic light and shadow while emphasizing the streamlined, architectural form. The elegant taper from the rounded upper section to the narrow rounded tip gives the clips a graceful aerodynamic appearance reminiscent of classic Art Deco industrial design. The carving remains crisp, and the vibrant translucent red color displays the unmistakable visual character prized by Bakelite collectors.
Each clip measures approximately 2 inches in length, tapering from approximately 9 millimeters at the widest point to approximately 1 millimeter at the narrow tip. The original silver-tone dress clip findings remain secure and function properly, allowing the clips to be worn individually or together on a wide variety of garments and accessories. The Bakelite has been Simichrome tested and confirmed authentic. Light vintage wear consistent with careful age and use is present under close inspection, while both clips retain their outstanding color, crisp carving, glossy finish, and excellent overall presentation with no notable damage observed.
Whether displayed in a collection of authentic Bakelite jewelry, worn as dramatic Art Deco accents, or incorporated into vintage-inspired fashion, this beautifully matched pair showcases the bold color, sculptural form, and enduring craftsmanship that continue to make genuine Bakelite jewelry among the most desirable collectibles of the twentieth century. They pair beautifully with carved Bakelite bangles, Bakelite brooches, and other period accessories while adding striking vintage style to sweaters, dresses, jackets, scarves, hats, and handbags, making them equally appealing to serious Bakelite collectors and vintage fashion enthusiasts alike.
