Superb Minaudière Or Necessary Art Deco Evening In Silver Vermeil And Lapis Lazuli Enamel Twentieth

Very interesting lady's evening set in enamelled silver.

The kit is rectangular in shape and has a trefoil oval section.
It is entirely enamelled with a wide central band of blue and gold dust in imitation of Lapis Lazuli and two side bands of black enamel.
The short sides are also enamelled black.

The minaudière opens thanks to a push button which reveals a mirror with, on the back, a plate in imitation of ivory allowing you to take a few notes using the mechanical pencil that fits into the necessary.
Opposite, there are two compartments intended to receive makeup or store small accessories.

A braided cord is attached to a hinged geometric plug that sits at one end of the kit.

The kit is stamped:
. 925 for silver title
. English import hallmark for the City of London
. Date letter k for the year 1925
. Goldsmith's or importer's hallmark not very legible: ?&C


This magnificent minaudière is typical of Art Deco in its style and the use of enamelled silver, and more particularly of the art of living during the Roaring Twenties.
It is a very beautiful quality object as evidenced by its weight or even this rare enamel in imitation of lapis lazuli.
