- Lot Description
One-of-a-kind dressing/vanity case commissioned to be crafted by Cartier. This gentleman’s case is comprised of pig skin leather and housed in a canvas protective cover. Cartier Paris, London, New York can be seen under the main clasp. The interior base is tufted black silk and is surrounded with individual sections covered in leather and designed specifically for each of the vanity items. Includes seven tonic and cologne bottles; most are crystal with sterling silver tops, two possess French silver hallmarks and what appears to be the makers mark for Philippe-Berthier. Includes three leather boxes to hold cufflinks and other items, and one to house a Gillette razor with silver blade containers. The razor is dated from the late 1920s-30s. Also includes a nine-piece nail and accessory kit, nail buffer, pill containers, shoehorn and more. Many of the pieces are made from French ivory and bear the initials F.H with a royal crown.
- Provenance
This case was gifted to our consigner in the 1970’s from a friend in Santa Monica who owned a luggage store. According to her, an heir to the Bloomingdale’s fortune brought the bag in and it was originally owned by someone in the German/Austrian royal family.
