Unused Boxed Vintage Coty Envelope Novelty Powder Compact 1940s Refillable
Such an iconic vanity!
A super unused Coty Envelope Vanity!
The brass was lacquered at the point of manufacture which means it will not tarnish nor need to cleaned.
As you can see the compact is made to look like an envelope.
The lid and base are decorated with an engine turned design of tiny diamond shapes.
A smooth gold tone border defines the shape of this exquisite vanity.
All clasps and hinges work perfectly.
The lid opens to reveal the gleaming golden interior fitted with the original signed puff, protective paper cover, pouch (envelope vanity protector) and mirror.
The mirror gives a good and accurate reflection.
The powder well lid is signed Coty.
Some vintage powder compacts were made with a felt insert fitted into the sides of the powder well and so they do not need a sifter to be used with loose foundation.
This felt forms a seal when the powder well lid is shut.
This is one such compact.
This compact is suitable for use as a stylish handbag mirror, for use with all loose foundation and also as a cherished display collectible.
The original pouch is well made, luxurious and lined with high quality soft wool felt.
The original presentation case is embellished with the Coty crest & the following in words in gilt lettering.
