Vintage Silver Plated Floral Patterned Compact Purse and Mirror

$75.00
Vintage Silver Plated Floral Patterned Compact Purse and Mirror-
This pretty silver plated compact has lots of floral detail surrounding the outer border of this antique compact. The center of the piece can be engraved to personalize it and it has a little ring at he top that you can add a chain to wear as a wristlet or necklace. The condition shows it was well loved. This is such a cool piece of history. I can just envision some bright red lip rouge and light powdery cover up with a soft puff pad in this little beauty.

The first powder compact was created during Louis XIV's reign by French perfumers in the 17th century and moved across the channel into the hands of English jewelers. It wasn't until the 1920s, with the rise of the cosmetics culture that makeup compacts were being produced en masse. Many collectors consider the Art Deco era (1920s-1930s) to be the peak for makeup compact design. The burgeoning middle class consumer culture of the post-war period brought the compact back after it took a dip in popularity during World War Two. By the 1970s, liquid foundation, cheaply manufactured powders, and a natural face being the most fashionable marked the end of the statement compact mirror.
