LANCOME French Revolution Commemorative Maquifinish Powder Compact Case:
$25.00

This compact is in excellent, unused condition. There is a small scrape on the surface of the pressed powder, and if it were not for this, the compact would be mint. The lid of the compact is black with a glossy, mirror-like finish, and is further decorated with two thin circles– one red and one blue -- with a gold wreath in between them. At the bottom of the wreath is a pair of crossed tri-colored French flags and the year 1789. The compact was issued by Lancome in 1989 to celebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution. The sides of the compact are shiny gold tone and the back of the compact has a gold tone machine-turned design with engraved marks, that when looked at sideways, are double v’s. The cartouche on the backside is engraved“LANCOME MADE IN ENGLAND”. It's likely that Lancome commissioned STRATTON of ENGLAND to manufacture this compact. The puff has the Lancome name but is just like many of the Stratton’s that had a sponge type bottom. The puff is original and due to age has deteriorated and is no longer serviceable. The plastic powder protector is still intact. The compact is 3 inches in diameter and weighs 4 ounces without its pouch, which is original to the compact. Related Items:
