About the Item

A Charming Glimpse into Early 20th-Century Beauty and Craftsmanship Step back in time with this Antique Art Deco Rouge Compact, marked “Belais 14K White Gold Front”, showcasing a striking enamel façade and delicate details. Hailing from the 1920s–1930s, it reflects the glamour and refined artistry of the Art Deco period, making it a compelling collectible or exquisite display piece for any vintage enthusiast. 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. Dimensions & Condition Diameter: Approximately 2.65 inches Depth: About 0.80 inches Interior Mirrors: One mirror is fully intact, while the other is missing part of its reflective backing. Period: 1920–1935, showcasing authentic Art Deco design and craftsmanship. Though showing some expected age wear—particularly to one mirror—the compact’s enamel work, gold front, and overall structure remain an enchanting testament to early 20th-century style and technique. Why Collect a Belais Compact? Art Deco Heritage Characterized by bold geometries, luxurious materials, and modern motifs, Art Deco pieces capture a dynamic era of design innovation.
