Vintage Fiocchi Art Deco Bakelite Necklace - Cleopatra Egyptian Bib Festoon - Light Yellow Clear Prystal Bakelite & Dramatic Black Beads

Fabulous dramatic art deco geometric bakelite bead necklace:

~ Egyptian revival bib or festoon Cleopatra style

~ Large chunky graduating transparent / prystal triangle shaped fans in a rare crystal clear lemon drop light yellow shade

~ True black beads in two sizes

~ Matching black screw barrel clasp

~ Transparent triangle beads test positive for bakelite with both the rub and smell & simichrome methods, the black beads test negative as black often does. They are either bakelite or a high end bakelite type material such as Catalin or French Goliath

~ Appears to be strung on original black cotton type thread

~ Guessing this to be circa 1920's to 1930's

~ Fiocchi Italian look - but this beauty is unsigned, so I can't say for certain who to give the credit to for this masterpiece

Ready and waiting for your neck or collection - you will love it!

*Measurements: Aprox 17" long end to end, largest bakelite bead is about 2 1/2" long and the shortest bakelite bead 1 1/2" long

*Marks: None that I can find

*Condition: Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks to mention

View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
