$450.00
Extremely rare to find vintage Art Deco Catalin Bakelite deeply carved Figurine. Very desirable butterscotch tone. Lovely Portrait of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. Base is made of real horn. Extremely detailed carving, refine piece. This gorgeous scultpure was produced in Germany to promote the Nefertiti Exhibition that took place in Berlin in 1923-24. Bakelite is in excellent vintage condition and so is the horn base, no chip or crack. Beautiful addition to any Bakelite collection. Positive test for vintage traditional Bakelite : dark yellow-orange residue on the Q-tip when using 409 and Simichrome polish + distinctive phenol chemical aroma when using warm running water.
