Description
An exceptional antique Faturan cherry amber Bakelite graduated bead necklace comprising massive, graduated disk rondelle beads that showcase an imposing visual scale rarely seen on the market. The phenolic material boasts a deep oxblood and cherry red patina. Each individual bead exhibits internal swirling and marble veined patterning. When backlit, the dramatic material yields a rich, warm crimson translucency with layered internal depths. Weight: 355 Grams. Tested with semichrome. Largest bead is just over 2" long.
Condition
Excellent and very nicely kept. Tested with semi chrome as well. The beads currently display on a metal wire- not a proper necklace/ rope.
