Compact Purses - Fact & Tips

 


Dual Sided Mother-of-Pearl Compact Carry-all


<<<< Back to Compact Purses and Carry-alls

 

Oh my, this 1930's - 1950 compact carry-all is so very special with radiant diamond shaped mother-of-pearls on both front and back sides.

My photos are good but just don't express the truest beauty of this vanity compact purse and all it's marvelous coloring.




 

     

The pearl on this purse is gorgeous and changes tones, with the lighting, as you walk around the room, all eyes will admire this one.  The diamond shaped pattern is quite attractive, rare to find and repeats itself on both sides of this handbag, simply marvelous.  The pearls are in extra nice condition, no chips, or cracks, barely any scratch either, just one scuff on the backside, visible upon close scrutiny when tipped to the light.  This purse is cased in a gold tone metal and is carried with a snake type chain handle that drops about 4 & 1/2 inches.

    

The interior, of course, is lovely with all of the original components.  The mirror is in nice clear condition and pulls forward to reveal a cigarette compartment, perfect for carrying your favorite vintage hanky.  There is a loose lipstick tube, a cloth change holder with a celluloid comb in it's slot.  The powder well still has some remnants of powder and the puff has been used.  Overall the interior is in very fine vintage condition with one barely noticeable dent near the lipstick tube, I almost missed it.  This fabulous creation measures 5 & 1/4 in width by 3 in height, with a depth of 3/4 of an inch.  If you have been searching for that extraordinary pearl compact carry-all, please consider this exceptional example, you will love it.
