Description

 

THIS sale IS FOR A VERY ATTRACTIVE VANITY PURSE WHICH DATES CIRCA 1920. THE CASE MEASURES APPROX. 10 CMS BY 5 CMS AND IS 3 CMS IN DEPTH. THE CASE HAS ATTACHED BLACK WRIST CORD AT THE TOP AND A BLACK TASSEL WITH BLACK CAP TO THE BASE. FROM THE TOP OF THE CARRY CORD TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TASSEL THE TOTAL MEASUREMENT IS 40 CMS. 

THIS ART DECO FLAPPER CASE IS MADE MADE OF CREAM BAKELITE WITH CARVED FLORAL AND FAUX CORAL DECORATION TO THE LID AND THE SAME DESIGN IS REPEATED ON THE BACK. THE CASE HAS STRONG HINGE AND FIRM CATCH AND OPENS TO REVEAL A GLUED GLASS MIRROR WITH BEVELLED EDGE UNDER THE LID. THE MIRROR HAS SOME SIGNS OF DESILVERING AT THE EDGES BUT RETAINS A GOOD REFLECTION. IN THE BASE ARE TWO OPEN SMALL CIRCULAR COMPARTMENTS BOTH EMPTY NOW  AND MOST PROBABLY ONE FOR POWDER AND THE OTHER FOR ROUGE. THEY BOTH RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL SMALL SHEEPSKIN AND SILK PUFFS WITH BONE HANDLES. 

THIS WONDERFUL 1920\'S VANITY CASE IS OFFERED IN GOOD PRE LOVED CONDITION. THE CASE HAS NO DENTS OR CRACKS BUT HAS SURFACE MARKS AND A SMALL GRAZE (VISIBLE ON THE EDGE OF THE CASE IN IMAGE NO. 5) AND I BELEIVE THERE HAS BEEN SOME RESTORATION TO THE BASE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE MIRROR HAS SOME DESILVERING TO THE EDGES, THE CASE HAS FIRM HINGE AND SECURE CLOSURE. THE CARRY CORD AND THE TASSEL ARE IN GOOD ORDER. THE DECORATION TO THE LID HAS BRIGTER COLOURS THAN THE UNDERSIDE WHICH HAS FADED SOMEWHAT. NONETHELESS, THESE CASES ARE INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND AND MUCH SOUGHT AFTER AND THIS ONE DISPLAYS VERY WELL. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
