Vintage Yellow Bakelite Button Set / Sculptural Loop Design
A striking set of three vintage Bakelite buttons in a rare sculptural loop form, featuring a bold buttery yellow tone paired with rich brown domed centers. These buttons showcase an eye-catching, almost surrealist Art Deco–inspired design, with fluid curves that wrap around the central cabochon detail.
Crafted from early plastic (likely Bakelite or Catalin), each button has a dimensional, molded structure that gives them a jewelry-like presence—perfect for statement garments or collectors of unique vintage findings. The warm patina and subtle tonal variation in the centers add depth and authenticity.
Highly collectible and increasingly hard to find in matched sets.
