Here on offer is a delightful and rare vintage 1940s, Vogue Vanities ‘Persian Legend’ powder compact.

 

Vogue Vanities began making powder compacts in the late 1940s and continued into the 1950s. They produced high quality compacts employing expert workmanship and excellent materials.

 

This stylish compact features a cream enamelled lid with the classic ‘Persian Legend’ design. The design has oriental warriors fighting dragons against a gold foliate background. There is no fading or loss to the enamelled design. The gold tone base shows surface marks, while the sides are in excellent condition.

 

The compact opens with a push button mechanism. Once opened it reveals the mirror which is free of damage. The base has a gold toned door engraved with the ‘VOGUE VANITIES’ trademark. The button that opens the powder well cover is engraved ‘PRO PAT’. Both opening mechanisms and hinges are in good order. The sifter and powder puff are missing.

 

The compact is offered in good vintage condition, it measures about 9.5cm in diameter by 0.7cm and weighs 151g.

 

A wonderful addition for a serious collector.
