A rare 1930s art deco travelling beauty case from the days of Pullman carriage splendour, when a lady took her dressing-table packed into premium luggage.

The black leatherette case is fitted with a black watered-silk mat and a mirror to the inside of its lid. The all-metal interior is compartmentalised into lidded and open sections designed to house beauty products – pencils, lipsticks, brushes, powder puffs and so on, and has a cream enamel paint finish. Glass bottles and jars, each with a chromium-plated lid, are held in place by spring clips integrated into the design.  The case and its contents is all original and complete.

Case contains:

2 small round facetted glass jars

3 medium round facetted glass jars

1 large round facetted glass jar

3 small square-section glass bottles

3 large square-section glass bottles

A key

Case: height 7cm   width 27cm   depth 21.5cm 

Large bottle: height 9cm width 4.5cm depth 2.5cm

Large jar: diameter 7.5cm height 4.5cm

Please note the slight wear to case and small split to the side of handle – see images
