Key Features
Design
Belais 14K White Gold Front
The compact’s top panel is crafted in 14-karat white gold, affirming its premium quality and historical significance.
The “Belais” hallmark underscores its provenance, referencing a notable name recognized for pioneering white gold in the early 20th century.
Enamel Decoration
White
Black Enamel: The front displays a white enamel face with a floral arrangement crown motif set against a black enamel background.
Art Deco Flair: Precise geometric contrasts, coupled with stylized floral elements, embody the period’s signature fusion of boldness and elegance.
Compact Interior
Inside are two mirrors—one is missing half of its reflective material, a sign of the piece’s well-worn history.
Designed originally for rouge or pressed powder, the interior’s structure reflects the era’s focus on portable luxury and personal grooming.
Lock
Black Cord
The decorative bail secures the latch and is attached to a black cord, offering both functionality and an extra layer of Art Deco styling.
