Celluloid Chrysathemum Bangle to Imitate Ivory 1920s - 1950s SOLD
This is a beautiful example of a moulded and pierced Celluloid bangle with lots of very detailed flower designs all over it. The main flowers depicted are the Chrysanthemum and lots of cheerful open Daisies in a repeating pattern. The Ivory colour is a buttery cream which enhances the deep floral detail. Measuring a little over 2cms in width, the bangle has a diameter of 6.5 cms across approx. It is quite chunky too, so that it is a little over 7.5cms if you measure across the outside of the bracelet. These amazing bangles were mostly made in Japan to imitate carved Ivory and have now become very collectable and increasingly difficult to find. They look delightful worn grouped together or with old bakelite bangles.
