Description from the seller

Lady Alfred Dunhill Vanity Case with lipstick:

Vanity Case, or ladies' cosmetics/makeup case by Alfred Dunhill.
During the decades of the 1920s and 1930s (the Art Deco era), Dunhill created these luxurious hybrid pieces of compact engineering designed to be carried in a lady's handbag.
How the vanity case works: the main compartment (Powder Case): the body opens through hidden hinges in the base to reveal a framed mirror and a compartment for compact powder or blush. The removable Lipsticks: the vertically oriented cylinder and another at the top, horizontally, are lipstick tubes. They fit perfectly into the grooves of the case. The red material visible in the images is the vintage lipstick itself.
The elongated piece serves as an applicator or internal cleaning tool for the small compartments. At that time, it was the ultimate accessory of high society, gathering beauty touch-ups.
Despite its great age, it is in excellent condition, with only an anomaly in the mirror (see images).
