This 1920s Art Deco powder compact is fashioned from solid sterling silver and enamel. The round item features a vibrant cobalt blue enamel border encircling an engine-turned silver body with detailed mouldings around the rim. The hinged lid opens to reveal a gilded interior and a hand-painted landscape scene depicting a pastoral village with cottages under an expansive sky. The exterior is finished with a polished metallic shine and precise geometric engraving on the metalwork. Measuring 5.7 cm across, this compact is suited for display on a bedside table, dressing table or display cabinet. It serves as an ornamental desktop accessory or a decorative collectible within a home today.

FAQs

A silver enamel powder compact is a portable cosmetic container crafted from solid silver and decorated with vitreous enamel techniques. Emerging as essential ladies accessories during the early twentieth century, these pieces were designed to hold loose or pressed powder alongside an integrated mirror.

Compacts from this era were typically hallmarked sterling silver featuring engine-turned geometric patterns or guilloche engraving beneath layers of translucent or hand-painted enamel. High-heat firing fused the glass enamel to the metal substrate, creating a durable and vivid decorative finish.

Authentic pieces feature official assay hallmarks indicating metal purity, makers marks, and date letters corresponding to the decade. Genuine guilloche and hand-painted enamel displays meticulous detail, precise engine-turning lines under the surface, and age-appropriate wear to the silver rim hinges.

These compact pieces serve as refined decorative accents on a bedroom dressing table, displayed inside a glass specimen case, or styled atop a decorative tray alongside vintage perfume bottles.

Clean gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth applied strictly to exposed metal areas. Avoid immersing the item in liquids or chemical dips, as moisture can damage internal mirrors, powder compartments, and fine enamel work.
