BOURJOIS Triple Vanity Case – The lid top is enameled black and cream on silver tone plated metal. The backside is signed BOURJOIS with its trademark emblem. All product components were originally “refillable”.
Inside: Bottom portion of the open compact holds pressed face powder. Above that there is a lipstick that tips up from its compartment, also marked BOURJOIS, so buy the color can be slipped out and pushed up with the thumb slide – currently there is quite a little red lip color still in the tube.
Top – the rouge lid cover is highly polished to act as a mirror; under the cover are two compartments – one with left over peachy-pink colored powder cheek color and the other still holds its original pad reading BOURJOIS on top.
It measures 2” x 1 15/16” x ½”; there is some marring in the top enameling; scratches in the silver tone plating all over appropriate to the age, and probability of it having been carried in a lady's handbag. The hinge and latch work well and are secure. Overall, it is in good vintage condition.
It rather remarkable to find it in its original satin lined box. “BOURJOIS New York – Paris” in gold on the inside of the lid; the trademark on the top; one end of the bottom box is present, but unattached at the corners; the box originally was an off white, but now bears smudges and soiling from longtime storage.
Nice gift for the compact, Evening in Paris collectors, or for boudoir décor. BTW, I have a Bourjois Evening in Paris magazine ad listed that might make a nice companion gift to the compact. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1015329049
