Vintage 800 Silver Engine-Turned Lipstick Holder, Carnelian Slide Button, Internal Mirror, Excellent
Description
Secured from the most mechanically ingenious corner of the vanity archive, this antique solid silver lipstick case is a structural masterclass in historical vanity engineering that rewards both the eye and the hand.
Crafted from fully hallmarked solid silver, the rectangular body is covered in a crisp engine-turned wavy linear pattern, its tactile surface a testament to the precision machinery of its era. The true genius lies in the mechanics: a deep red carnelian cabochon set into the lid acts as a slide button, historically designed to deploy the lipstick, while a hinged compartment opens to reveal a covert internal mirror with beautiful, authentic vintage aging. Heavy and satisfying in the hand, this is functional history infused with unapologetic vintage glamour. Offered in excellent antique condition with hinge and clasp structurally flawless.
A museum-quality wearable artifact for the serious collector of antique vanity objects and Victorian curiosities. Part of the Vanity Table Treasures collection.
