50s buying Vintage Barrette in Bakelite Turtle Color. Rectangular Shape bordered with two white and gold strips. Handmade in France Single Specimen

This barrette manufactured in France, in Oyonnax, is made entirely by hand. For this reason, it has become rare: it was extremely expensive to produce in this way and with this accuracy, today. Especially when working with bakelite.

The beauty of this piece results from careful finishing - although it is entirely hand-made -, design and the bakelite turtle color combination with the two white and gold strips running across the two larger sides of the rectangle .

Brand New by, we presume. Paul Maréchal (at the beginning of the 1950s there was still no concern in France about putting the mark); later, in the 60's we already found articles with the brand Paul Maréchal especially combs and handles
