Outstanding brown swirl Bakelite Necklace with faux cameo, French 1920s

This is a very rare necklace comprising matched brown swirl squared tubular Bakelite stations alternating with stations of facetted French jet glass beads all linked by white metal rings with a central oval shield shape studded openwork pendant mounted with a celluloid cameo of a neoclassical style helmeted warrior, possibly Paris, and with a diamond shape drop. This piece combines the angular simplicity of the Art Deco style, in particular the squared tubular bars, with classicising elements, most obviously the faux cameo portrait head. The juxtaposition is most unusual producing a striking decorative accessory.
Size: 66cm long, drop11 cm, central pendant 7cm x 5cm, bar stations 40mm, beads 15mm
Weight: 71.5 gm
Date: 1920s
Condition: Good condition generally but with a small amount of repair at the reverse to the lower section of the pendant
Estimate: £50 – 80
