Description from the seller

Alfred Dunhill ladies' pocket vanity case with lipstick:

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