Art Deco Bakelite, Chrome and Glass Travelling Beauty Case
This wonderfully Art Deco streamlined six piece jade green Bakelite, chrome and glass travelling dressing table set, consisting of brush, comb, powder pots and a perfume bottle, was made in England by the Halex Company (1897 - 1971) of Highams Park (which is a district in the London). The set, which comes with its own travelling case of green dyed leather to match with a salmon coloured satin lining also has one original powder puff in apricot, one in pale pink and one in primrose yellow. There is also a nail file and set of tweezers in metal as well as a removable mirror.
When acquired from a local auctioneers, the set was also found to include a little red Bakelite pot with the letter L embossed on its lid. It is in fact a pot of "mandarin" Leichner Cosmetics (1878 - present) rouge, which still contains its original sponge, a mirror on the inside of the lid, and most of the contents, which are a wonderful shade of vermilion.
Private collection.
