About the Item
ANTIQUE VANITY CASE/COMPACT
A beautiful and good-quality piece made from silver, which has been enamelled on the exterior to imitate malachite. The clasp features a stylised carved coral section depicting flowers surrounded by diamonds. The clasp opens to reveal a gilt interior with a bevelled mirror and two compartments flanking a central lipstick holder.
Made by Auguste Peyroula (also sometimes spelt Peyroulx), who was a goldsmith, silversmith and jeweller operating in Paris from 1904-1937
This particular case was retailed by Joël Helft, 374 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris.
Peyroula was known as a high-quality maker of boxes and also made vanities for Cartier, Sandoz and Van Cleef
Arpels.
This example dates from the 1920s or possibly early 1930s, right in the heart of the Art Deco period.
French hallmarks present for silver and makers’ marks for Peyroula, it is also signed by the retailer ‘Joël Helft, Paris’.
