You all know that I am forever a lover of bakelite jewels and particularly love bangle bracelets....and along with the geometric variety posted several days ago...I have always been captivated by the fossil like, frozen in time magical quality of reverse carved fish bracelets. This one is a killer......and has an unusual provenance. I have owned it before....in the 90's....sold it...re-acquired it back in 2010--and now it sits in my safety deposit box, being beautiful, waiting for that special customer who request "the most fab reverse carved fish bracelet you've got MATT". For bakelite afficionados....it first was sold to the famous ..or infamous Dennis Masellis, collector extraordinaire who shall we say got into a bit of hot water with his financing methods in the 90;s.....it was then sold at the famous William Doyle auctions of his incomparable collections in 2001-2002 to recoup monies for , ahem..the offended and aggrieved parties, (An important law firm..).....and was SOLD to long time top collector Susan Kelner Freeman at that time.Last year, when Ms., Freeman de-0accesioned her collection via Bonham's auctions....it returned home via a large check back to me...its original owner...and is waiting for the next important collector who needs the ultimate fish bracelet to grace their collection....so it waits patiently...occasionally being photographed for its odd, frozen amber like beauty......and glowing apple juice coloration......I also illustrate the wondrous category of reverse carved and painted bangles with a stack of ultra-beauties...all brilliantly colored florals, on apple juice, a bouquet of beauty to grace any ladies arm, or collectors showcase! Bakelite is many things to many people.....enjoy its amazing diversity! If so desired...ask questions and prices too!

É um dos artistas de mais talento do século XX. Amigo de Salvador Dalí, Alberto Giacometti e Diana Vreeland entre outros. Tiffany & Co. não tardou a contrata-lo para criar uma coleção própria e a partir daí ,atrizes e socialites da época, como Elisabeth Taylor e Jaqueline Kennedy ,se converteram em clientes habituais e seus desenhos que eram sempre inspirados na natureza agradam até hoje em todo o mundo as mais ricas e influentes personalidades.
