What a colorful gathering we had for Amy Gregory's "Listening in Color" opening today! 🖼✨

Art Deco powder compacts transformed a simple cosmetic accessory into a miniature canvas for artistic expression. During the 1920s and 1930s, these elegant pocket-sized treasures showcased the era’s fascination with glamour, fashion, and modern design. Crafted from enamel, silver, gold plate, lacquer, Bakelite, and other luxurious materials, they featured an astonishing variety of decorative styles, from bold geometric patterns and stylized florals to fashionable women, exotic motifs, and sophisticated color combinations. Many were adorned with intricate engraving, vibrant enamels, or delicate hand-painted artwork, making each compact a reflection of contemporary taste and craftsmanship. Carried in handbags and displayed on dressing tables, these beautiful accessories embodied the elegance and optimism of the Jazz Age. Today, they remain highly collectible symbols of Art Deco artistry, style, and refinement.
