Step back into the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties with this exceptionally rare and beautiful antique Art Deco trifold double vanity compact.
A true museum-grade masterpiece of early 20th-century cosmetic craftsmanship, this heavy brass oval compact was produced by the historic Bliss Brothers Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Stamped clearly into the inner brass rim is the highly coveted manufacturer's hallmark: "B.B. CO."
This premium, authenticated vanity case opens to reveal a stunning trifold double-compartment layout:• The center features a marvelous swing-hinged double mirror that flips open to show its perfectly preserved, vibrant hot-pink cream rouge blush pan on the reverse side.• The lower well houses a loose powder compartment complete with its original, authentic vintage peach wool powder puff.• The entire interior background showcases an incredibly elegant, shimmering wavy engine-turned guilloché pattern etched directly into the solid brass base.
The exterior lid is an absolute showstopper, boasting a high-gloss black enamel face split by a central pale blue-grey guilloché panel. The panel is delicately hand-painted with a romantic, trailing pink rosebud and green leaf garland, beautifully framed by ornate, chased floral brass borders.
Whether displayed proudly on an antique vanity tray, added to a high-end vintage cosmetic collection, or gifted as an unforgettable heirloom treasure to a lover of fashion history, this fully documented piece is a spectacular estate find. THE DETAILS
