Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco compacts produced during the 1930s frequently incorporated low-relief engine-turned metal designs beneath translucent vitreous enamel, a technique known as guilloche, resulting in geometric and radiating patterns.

These vanity accessories were constructed primarily from solid sterling silver or silver gilt, which formed the base frame and internal mirror bezel, paired with fused glass enamel applied to the outer lid.

Authentic items display official silver hallmarks denoting purity, assay office, maker, and date letter, accompanied by uniform precision in the underlying engine-turned metalwork.

Small vanity items are suited for display on a bedroom dressing table tray, positioned alongside perfume bottles, or arranged within a glass display cabinet.

Clean the enamelled surface gently using a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the item free from chemical cleaners or submersion in water to prevent damage to the enamel or internal mirror.
