EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite compact and lipstick holder, dating back to circa 1920, is an elegant example of the applied arts from the early 20th century. The intricately designed object showcases the ingenuity of the era, with a concealed mirror in the lid and space for two lipsticks within the large silk tassel. The compact's compactness and portability made it an essential accessory for women during this time, allowing them to touch up their makeup on-the-go with ease and style. The chinoiserie influence is evident in the compact's decorative motifs, which draw inspiration from Chinese art and culture. The delicate floral patterns and intricate designs are rendered in precise detail, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The use of a silk tassel as a handle adds a touch of luxury and sophistication, while also providing a practical means of carrying the compact. The compact's deco-inspired cord and geometric shapes further emphasize its place in the historical context of the 1920s, a time of artistic innovation and experimentation. The compact's compact size, intricate design, and hidden mirror make it a true object of desire and a testament to the enduring allure of beautiful, functional art. This image is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of cosmetics and the art of the applied arts during a time of great change and transformation.
