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.
