About the Item
Sleek Art Deco Black Enamel Ladies Cigarette Case and Compact by Richard Hudnut, 1920s
This elegant Art Deco ladies’ cigarette case and compact by Richard Hudnut captures the glamour and sophistication of the Jazz Age. Crafted with sleek black enamel framed in polished chrome, the design is both streamlined and functional, embodying the refined style of the 1920s and 1930s. The case opens to reveal two thoughtfully designed compartments: one side fitted with a spring-loaded arm to securely hold cigarettes, and the other featuring a mirror with pressed powder, blush, and a petite powder puff, an ingenious combination of utility and elegance.
Compact and sturdy, this piece was clearly lovingly used yet beautifully preserved, retaining both its functionality and its timeless allure. The enamel remains fully intact with only light surface wear, the case shows minor indentations consistent with age, and the powder section retains a bit of the original face powder. The powder puff shows slight wear at the top, a testament to its authentic use.
During the Art Deco era, cigarette cases and compacts were more than functional items, they were stylish accessories and symbols of modern femininity. Sleek designs in enamel, chrome, and precious metals reflected the new spirit of independence and elegance among women in the interwar years. These accessories often doubled as fashion statements, tucked into handbags or displayed with flair during social occasions.
Richard Hudnut (1855–1928) was a pioneering American cosmetics entrepreneur, often described as the first American to establish a fortune in the perfume and cosmetics industry. His luxury products, frequently presented in exquisite packaging, were marketed in Paris and New York as symbols of refinement and sophistication. Hudnut’s compacts and vanity items are especially prized today for their combination of artistry and function, representing the golden age of glamour in cosmetics history.
This rare Art Deco Richard Hudnut enamel cigarette case and compact is a perfect example of that legacy: an accessory that merges fashion, beauty, and modern design. Today, it makes a stunning collectible for lovers of Art Deco, vintage vanity items, and design history.
Condition: General wear to the enamel and minor surface indentations to the case, though the enamel remains fully intact without chips or loss. Minor wear to the powder puff, with blush and face powder partially used and only a small amount remaining. Mirror retains clarity. Overall in lovely vintage condition, with excellent display and collectible value.
