Patinated Bakelite


Totally unique and wildly carved, check out these huge black coat buttons made of licorice Bakelite and highlighted in the perfect dose of patina. Dating back to the 1920's or 1930's, the carvings on these buttons sport a spiral and pineapple design. Chic and sophisticated, these buttons turned up over a year ago on one of my trips to Arizona. The patina equals an evenly settled shade of golden dust and couldn't accentuate these antiques more nicely.
