Regards, Linda Please, don't forget to view my other items Up for sale is this EXQUISITE and RARE, 1920s, Cherry Red Bakelite, Silver plated, Cut Steel, Flapper Belt ! This comes from my personal vintage and antique fashion collection. Every time I look at this amazing piece I wonder why we don't still make things like this, as it's so beautiful and very bohemian and originally made in old Bohemia - now the Czech Republic. It's made from various materials of, Cherry Red Bakelite, Cut Steel Florets, and silver plated embossed Chain and Tassle. What's so wonderful about this piece is that it can also be worn as a necklace or even as a fabulous head piece which I have done for an event, and it looks amazing whichever way it's worn. This is a VERY RARE Genuine Antique piece, and these types of accessories from this period are getting ever increasingly hard to find, mostly because they're either lost to time or in collections and even film production costume collections, which I know they're always sourcing original pieces and not parting with them once they're registered into their studio stock ( I used to source items for these costume studios) I also want to add that this is also very much a heirloom piece, as long as it's treated with full respect and care, this will last into future generations and most certainly increase in value, especially as this is now officially an antique piece and also a beautiful but of female fashion history. It's I'm amazing antique condition, with only a small amount of wear to the plating on the chain and a tiny pin missing on one of the cut steel florets that's attached to the gorgeous cherry red bakelite frame. This really is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece from a time of when women finally had power over what they wanted to wear and look exquisite and incredibly stylish. Don't miss out on this very RARE piece of fashion history! Measurements in photos I'm a retired professional seamstress/dressmaker and costume technician, having worked in film, theatre, and tv for several years. In that time I travelled and collected many antique & vintage items, for over 35 years. I'm now having to downsize, due to having multiple Sclerosis. So I'll be listing more interesting vintage & antique bits and pieces over the next coming weeks and months, including some antique garments, some of which mostly come from Europe, via my work & research. If you have any questions feel free to message me. If there are any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me. Please, Do NOT bid, if you have no intention to pay, and absolutely no trouble makers !
