About the Item

Art Déco French silver and enamel vanity compact necklace/pendant with mirror, 1940s By: unknown Material: silver, metal, enamel, mirror Technique: silvered, polished, metalwork, cast, molded, enameled Dimensions: 1 in x 2 in x 4 in Date: Early 20th century, circa 1935 Style: Art Déco, Mid-Century Modern, Modern Place of origin: France Designed with meticulous craftsmanship and striking geometric contrast, this French Art Déco silver vanity compact necklace exemplifies the era’s refined balance between aesthetics and practicality. The exterior features a dynamic arrangement of polished red and black enamel set against a sleek silver frame. Fine metalwork enhances its symmetrical composition, while the compact form conceals an intricate interior mechanism. Upon opening, a mirror is revealed alongside compartments crafted to accommodate powder and small essentials, including space for tiny booklets or notes. A delicate silver stylus, likely intended for quick annotations, adds an unexpected yet practical touch, reflecting the Art Déco ethos of sophistication in everyday objects. The precision-engineered hinge system and seamless material integration highlight the technical mastery of early 20th-century French artisans. Rooted in the interwar period, Art Déco championed streamlined silhouettes, dynamic contrasts, and luxurious materials, particularly in vanity accessories. This compact necklace encapsulates that spirit, offering a glimpse into the bold yet functional elegance of 1930s France.
