Deeply Carved Pumpkin Bakelite Floral Brooch 4 Inch Oversized Vintage Statement Pin

Exceptionally deep sculptural carving, sweeping ribbon-like petals, rich pumpkin-orange color with beautiful butterscotch patina, and an impressive 4-inch size make this one of the most striking vintage Bakelite statement brooches.

$295.00

An exceptional example of genuine vintage Bakelite, this magnificent oversized brooch showcases remarkably deep sculptural carving in a bold floral design centered by sweeping ribbon-like petals that twist gracefully across the composition. The dramatic relief carving, domed center, and beautifully balanced symmetry create a striking three-dimensional appearance that immediately distinguishes this piece from more commonly encountered carved Bakelite brooches.

The rich pumpkin-orange Bakelite has matured beautifully over the decades, developing warm golden butterscotch highlights and a lustrous surface that collectors prize. The carving displays crisp flowing lines throughout, from the radiating petals to the finely detailed ribbon motif that gives the brooch movement and architectural depth. Measuring an impressive 4 inches wide by just under 2 1/8 inches tall, this is a true statement piece with exceptional display presence whether worn on a jacket, sweater, coat, or dress.

The material has been Simichrome tested and confirmed as genuine Bakelite. The brooch retains its original safety clasp, which functions properly. I found no chips or cracks, and the carving remains crisp with only light age-appropriate wear consistent with careful vintage use. Pieces of this scale, quality, and carving depth have become increasingly difficult to find, making this an outstanding addition for collectors of authentic Bakelite jewelry, deeply carved Bakelite, oversized vintage brooches, and important early plastic design.
