EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the elegance and allure of a bygone era with its depiction of a compact and open fan, adorned with diamante decoration and a silk tassel. Circa 1915, this exquisite accessory set was a must-have for any fashionable woman of the time. The compact, a compact mirror encased in a decorative casing, held essentials such as lipstick and a powder puff, allowing women to touch up their makeup on the go. The open fan, with its pierced ivory or imitation ivory sticks, was not only a functional item for keeping cool in the warm summer months but also a fashion statement. The intricate diamante decoration and silk tassel added an air of sophistication and luxury. The Art Deco influence of the period is evident in the geometric patterns and use of diamonds, which were popular design elements during this time. This compact and fan set is a testament to the rich history of costume accessories and the importance they held in shaping the fashion landscape of the early 20th century.
