Antique 20thC Art Deco 14K Gold, Lacquer, Enamel & Diamond Vanity Case c.1920

About the Item

Antique early-20th Century American Art Deco 14k gold vanity case, of elegant rectangular form with gracefully rounded sides, this exquisite vanity case exemplifies fine craftsmanship and timeless luxury. The lid is adorned with a delicate rectangular frame, meticulously set with old-cut diamonds, adding a touch of brilliance. The body of the box is richly applied with deep-hued lacquer and beautifully done enamel panels, seamlessly blending Eastern and Western aesthetics. A cabochon sapphire button serves as the clasp; when gently pressed, the case opens to reveal a thoughtfully designed interior. Inside, two compartments provide space for small essentials, while a designated area is intended for a petite mirror, enhancing the case’s functionality. A short, finely crafted gold chain, adorned with lacquer and green enamel elements, connects the case to a lacquered finger ring, allowing for both elegance and ease of carrying. The interior bears a "14K" gold mark, indicating its precious metal composition, though no specific maker’s mark is present. Dating to the early 20th century, this refined piece would have been a coveted accessory among the fashionable elite, blending practicality with timeless sophistication.
