ART DECO TAP TAP FLAPPER LADY BUTTERFLY WING HAND PAINTED POWDER COMPACT 1920
OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS VERY ATTRACTIVE ART DECO POWDER COMPACT DATING MID 1920'S. THE COMPACT MEASURES APPROX. 5 CMS IN DIAMETER AND IS MADE OF SILVER PLATED METAL WITH MACHINE TURNED PATTERN TO THE BASE. THE LID FEATURES A FABULOUS REVERSE HAND PAINTED DESIGN OF A GLAMOROUS FLAPPER LADY WITH A LITTLE BUDGIE PERCHED ON THE HAND OF HER OUTSTRETCHED ARM. THE PICTURE IS MOUNTED OVER THE GENUINE WING OF A BUTTERFLY WHICH PROVIDES TH SHIMMERING COLOUR OF THE BACKGROUND SKY AND THE LADY'S DRESS.
HINGES AND CATCH ARE FIRM AND SECURE AND THE COMPACT OPENS TO REVEAL A FRAMED METAL MIRROR UNDER THE LID. THE POWDER WELL IS COVERED BY A "TAP TAP" MECHANISM TO DISPENSE POWDER AND IS MARKED WORLD WIDE PATENTS AND PAT. 247962. MY RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS PATENT NUMBER WAS FIRST ISSUED IN 1926.
THIS MOST ATTRACTIVE POWDER COMPACT IS OFFERED IN GOOD CONDITION. THE CASE HAS NO DENTS OR DINGS. THE SILVER PLATED METAL HAS WEAR WITH THE BASE METAL SHOWING THROUGH AND WITH A DULLED APPEARANCE. THE METAL ON THE INSIDE HOWEVER IS BRIGHT AND SHINY. THE MIRROR HAS A GOOD REFLECTION BUT HAS SOME CLOUDING AND SOME SPOTS OF TARNISH. THE COMPACT RETAINS IT'S SMALL PUFF AND THE ORIGINAL PAPER LABEL WHICH DETAILS THE "TAP TAP" COMPACT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
