Description from the seller

Ladies’ Alfred Dunhill Vanity Case with lipstick:

Vanity Case, or ladies’ cosmetics/makeup case from Alfred Dunhill.
During the 1920s and 1930s (the Art Deco era), Dunhill created these luxurious compact-engineering hybrid pieces designed for ladies’ wallets.
How the vanity case works: the main compartment (Powder Case): the body opens via hidden hinges at the base to reveal an framed mirror and a compartment for compact powder or blush. The removable Lipsticks: the vertical cylinder and another at the top horizontally are lipstick tubes. They fit perfectly into the slots of the case. The red material visible in the images is the lipstick itself.
The elongated piece doubles as an applicator or internal cleaning accessory for the small compartments. At that time, it was the ultimate high-society grooming accessory.
Despite its great age, it is in excellent condition, with only one anomaly in the mirror (see images).
Shipped via UPS with tracking and insurance.
Can be picked up in person, free of charge.
