Vintage Bakelite Mixed Button Collection / Figural + Sculptural Designs
A highly collectible and visually striking assortment of vintage Bakelite buttons featuring a rare mix of figural and geometric forms. This curated set includes bold red cylindrical toggle-style buttons, a charming figural rooster button, and a dramatic black openwork circular button with an abstract, almost mask-like or animal motif.
Each piece reflects the playful innovation of early plastics from the Art Deco to mid-century era—where buttons were designed as miniature works of art rather than simple fasteners. The sculptural quality and strong color contrast (true red and deep black) make this set especially appealing for collectors, designers, and stylists.
A unique mixed grouping that offers versatility for both sewing and repurposing into jewelry or statement embellishments.
