Description

Totally authentic and in amazing original condition is this highly styled Art Deco American combination ladies atomiser and compact. The outer casing is very striking with it's jet black enamel and bright red geometric design. The condition is without doubt the best you could hope for from an item from this wonderful bygone era. The chrome is crisp and bright with no pitting, pealing or discolouration and this is carried through to the enamel, no chips, scuffs. On the underside of the compact is written 'Van Mist' with 'Pat Approved'. It remarkably still retains it's original face powder rouge and face puffs.

Lip cream, rouge compact and puff on one side; powder compact and puff on the other."
