About the Item

1920s Art Deco Enamel Ladies Makeup Compact Mirror with Rouge, Mirror, and Powder Puffs A striking and authentic 1920s Art Deco enamel ladies makeup compact, featuring a beautifully asymmetrical ivory and black geometric design on the lid, a hallmark of the era’s fascination with bold contrast, symmetry, and modern elegance. Crafted with precision and grace, this compact opens with a simple push of the clasp, revealing a polished interior mirror and two functional compartments below. One compartment holds its original rouge cake, still intact beneath a delicate powder puff, while the second opens to reveal a larger blending puff, both remarkably well-preserved. The mirror, housed within the lid, shows gentle signs of age at the corners, a faint darkening that is consistent with authentic 1920s silvering, adding vintage charm rather than detracting from its usability. The interior remains clean, bright, and fully functional. The underside of the compact is finished in smooth ivory colored enamel, and the entire piece displays the streamlined glamour associated with the Art Deco movement. Subtle surface wear and two pinpoint-sized areas of enamel loss on the lid are visible only upon close inspection, both entirely consistent with age and use. During the 1920s, compacts like this were considered the epitome of modern womanhood, both a symbol of independence and a luxury accessory carried by fashionable women in cities such as Paris, London, and New York. These designs often doubled as jewelry, expressing both style and sophistication in an age when personal presentation became an art form. Today, surviving examples with original rouge and puffs are exceptionally rare, making this a highly collectible artifact of early 20th-century beauty culture. An exquisite piece for collectors of Art Deco design, vintage cosmetics, or 1920s ladies’ accessories, this compact exemplifies the fusion of elegance, craftsmanship, and innovation that defined the Jazz Age.
