Elegant Art Deco Dance Compact / Nécessaire with Chain – GER SILVER
Elegant Art Deco Dance Compact / Nécessaire with Chain – GER SILVER – SKU E20972
A wonderful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this antique dance compact, also known as a nécessaire, is a charming reminder of an era when elegance and practicality went hand in hand.
Likely dating to the 1920s, this beautifully crafted case was designed to carry the essentials for an evening out. It features dedicated compartments for coins and cosmetics, together with an integrated mirror, allowing its owner to freshen up throughout the evening without carrying a larger handbag.
Complete with its original chain, this elegant accessory reflects the clean lines and sophisticated styling associated with the Art Deco period while retaining the refined influence of the late Edwardian era. Once considered an indispensable companion for evenings of dancing and formal occasions, these beautifully made cases are now highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, functionality and historical appeal.
Hallmarked GER SILVER, the case measures approximately 90mm × 55mm and weighs an impressive 117.40 grams, giving it a wonderfully substantial feel in the hand.
♻️ As with all of our antiques and collectables, this is a beautiful pre-loved piece, preserving a fascinating part of history while supporting sustainable collecting.
