Description from the seller

Art Deco silver powder compact and comb made in France in the 1920s.
The surface of both has a knurled texture: the powder compact features an engraving with an elegant diamond pattern, the comb case has a small stylized phytomorphic engraving.
The mirror and comb are original and in perfect condition (the comb shows traces of the talcum powder used to facilitate its extraction).
The two objects exemplify the refinement of an era of incomparable elegance: the "roaring twenties" of jazz music, Art Deco, the novels of Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the spread of the automobile and cinema, and the first emancipated women with their "garçonne" bobs.

No notable defects. Hallmarks on the upper edge of the mirror and under the comb case.
Powder compact dimensions: 6x9x1 cm. Weight: 100 g.
Comb dimensions: 13x3x0.3 cm. Weight: 35 g.
