Yardley Art Deco Compact
This is a beautiful Yardley art deco compact, showcasing the elegance of the era. The compact features a pale green enamel finish with a geometric design, typical of art deco styling. It opens to reveal a mirror and a powder well, originally designed to hold face powder. The compact’s design and colour scheme are indicative of the sophisticated aesthetic popular in the 1930s and 1940s.
Condition and Collectibility
This Yardley compact shows signs of age and use, consistent with its vintage nature. The enamel finish exhibits some minor wear and imperfections, adding to its character. Collectors often seek out vintage compacts like this one for their historical significance, aesthetic appeal, and as examples of early 20th-century design. It would be a lovely addition to a collection of vintage cosmetics or art deco objects.
