Description
On offer is this charming Art Deco French Diadem Parfum Sec box dating circa 1920 and measuring a petite 4.3cm in diameter. This little box is for a "new concentrated perfume in powder form" and there is perfumed powder still in the box, although I cannot check how much remains. The powder is kept beneath a paper covering with dispensing holes in it and the idea was "to rub a little on the skin, or sprinkle on handkerchief or on linen".
This Art Deco perfume powder box is offered in good condition with no paper loss, rips or tears and the powder still has a lovely fragrance. This is a very rare boudoir find!
