Antique Art Deco Finger Ring Dance Compact, 1920s French Blue Guilloché Rose

A rare antique Art Deco dance compact from the early 1920's, designed with exquisite feminine detail and evening elegance. The front features finely chased engraving with a French guilloché blue shield and a hand-painted pink rose, set on a graceful form finished with a blue opaline bead.


Inside, a mirror on one side, and compartments for rouge and powder on the other—remarkably still retaining their original contents and puffs, an unusually intact survival. The back is engraved Lylyan, adding a personal, romantic trace of its past life- here's hoping she danced many nights away with this very compact in hand, pausing only to check her reflection before stepping back into the glow of the ballroom. A beautiful antique Art Deco treasure for your collection of refined vanity pieces.
