Antique Compact
By the 1920′s and 30′s, compacts were offered in such variety that they could speak to the taste of almost any individual. Art Deco designs were particularly popular, as were exotic images based upon Egyptian motifs. Bakelite, shell, silver, and gold were just a few of the materials used in the manufacture of the cases. Even World War II could not curtail the compact, though most metals were necessarily replaced with materials like wood and plastic. It was not until the Sixties, with its emphasis on the “natural” look, that the compact was demoted to a mostly utilitarian object.
