Vintage Art Deco Bakelite Faux Coral Chinese Puzzle Ball Hat Pin/ Tie Pin/ Hair Pin, Circa 1930.

The bakelite ball is carved and assembled in the style of a Chinese Puzzle Ball. The ball is 1.8 cm approx. in diameter and is on a short metal pin (3.5 cm long). The pin has a threaded surface just above the tip which is designed to hold it in place.

Chinoiserie was popular in the 1930's and was an important accompaniment to the Art Deco style. This pin combines Art Deco simplicity of form and clean, geometric lines with the exotism of China.

An unusual little treasure which is in good vintage condition. Please note the pin is quite thick so is not suitable for fine material or silk. Hot water tested as Bakelite.
