This German silver gilt combination case originates from the Art Deco period of the 1920s. Formed in a rectangular shape with a rich gold-coloured finish, the piece features an engine-turned detail on the twin coin compartments, a hinged internal mirror mounted in an angular frame, and a spring-loaded card clip mounted to the upper interior lid. The silver gilt surface shows overall wear, rubbing, and surface markings consistent with age and use. The object measures 9 cm high and 6.5 cm wide. Placed on a sideboard top in a modern home, this vanity accessory functions as a decorative tabletop display item or a trinket holder. Its compact rectangular construction allows it to sit securely on flat surfaces, while the hinged components demonstrate the mechanical ingenuity of early twentieth-century vanity design. The piece integrates into period-styled interiors or contemporary collections of vanity cases and compacts, providing a tangible example of 1920s metalwork craftsmanship and portable luxury items.

FAQs

Popular during the early 20th century, combination compact cases were multifunctional personal accessories designed to hold coins, calling cards, paper currency, and cosmetics within a single portable metal container.

These accessories were commonly crafted from sterling silver, silver gilt, nickel, or brass, often featuring engine-turned geometric engraving, enamel work, and integrated glass mirrors.

Authentic period pieces feature period-correct makers marks or silver purities, spring-loaded mechanical coin dispensers, hinged internal dividers, and geometric Art Deco styling.

Small vanity items can be displayed open on a decorative tray, placed inside a glass cloche, or arranged on a dressing table alongside period perfume bottles.

Dust silver gilt items gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to clean the surface, avoiding chemical polishes or abrasives that can wear down thin gold gilding.
