FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by geometric shapes, stylised motifs, symmetrical patterns, and a sleek, modern aesthetic that departed from historical ornamentation.

Vintage compacts were frequently crafted from sterling silver, base metals with silver plating, or enamel, often featuring engine-turned patterns like engine turning or guilloche, alongside hand-etched engravings.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-specific hallmarks for silver purity, traditional mechanical clasps, internal mirror fixings consistent with early manufacturing methods, and authentic monogramming styles of the era.

These small decorative objects can be displayed on a dressing table, incorporated into a tablescape on a decorative tray, or arranged on a bookshelf alongside art books to add a touch of metallic texture.

Silver items should be cleaned gently using a specialist microfibre cloth to remove tarnish without damaging delicate engravings or the original mirror foil inside the casing.
