Description :

This collection of vintage compacts and vanity accessories spans several decades, reflecting the evolution of women’s beauty essentials from the early to mid-20th century.

  • Sterling Silver Powder Compact – Likely from the 1930s to 1950s, this compact features classic Art Deco or mid-century styling, often engraved or adorned with intricate patterns. Sterling silver compacts were prized for their durability and elegance, making them a staple in high-end vanity sets.  3 inches wide x 2 inches height

  • Green Powder Compact – The painted scene of a couple in period clothing suggests a 1920s to 1940s origin, possibly Bakelite or enameled metal. These decorative compacts were popular among women who favored romantic, hand-painted designs inspired by European artistry. 2.5 inches diameter

  • Gold-Toned Mirrored Compact (Lovepat Cream Beige Makeup Compact) – This textured gold-tone compact aligns with 1950s to 1960s trends, when sleek, metallic finishes became fashionable. Lovepat was a popular makeup brand, and its compacts often featured built-in mirrors for convenience. 2.5 inches length x 2 inches width

  • Glass Vanity Trinket Container – Dating to the 1930s to 1950s, this pressed glass container with a gold-toned lid was likely used for powder, jewelry, or small keepsakes. These vanity pieces were common in boudoirs and dressing tables, adding a touch of refinement to personal spaces.  3.5 inches diameter x 2 inches height.

Each item reflects the glamour and practicality of its era, making this collection a beautiful representation of vintage beauty accessories.
