German Art Deco Camera Compact – Vintage Powder Compact with Manicure Set, Rare Collectable

A rare and exquisite Art Deco powder compact, made in Germany and styled as a miniature camera. Dating from the late 1920s to mid-1930s, this piece beautifully captures the glamour of the Art Deco and Egyptian Revival eras. The front features a striking enamel scene with an elegant Egyptian lady and a snake to her left, set against a dramatic black, gold, and deep blue geometric background. The reverse is finished in a luxurious blood red marbled effect, making this compact a true statement piece for any vanity or collection. Dimensions: 10cm (approx. 4in) long, 5cm (approx. 2in) wide, 1.7cm (approx. 0.67in) high Stamped “Germany” for authenticity Opening mechanism: Press the side button to reveal a clear mirror inside the lid, perfect for touch-ups on the go Powder compartment: Press the square button to access the original sifter Manicure set: The reverse flap opens to reveal a complete manicure set with its original “Niegeloh Solingen” tag. Niegeloh, based in Solingen, Germany, has been renowned for precision-made manicure tools since the early 20th century. Lipstick holder: Slides out from the top of the compact for convenience All mechanisms work smoothly This compact is in overall excellent vintage condition with only minor age-related wear. There are two small dents on the lipstick holder edge (see final photo for close-up), but these do not detract from the overall beauty or function of the piece. The mirror is clear, the enamel scene is vibrant, and all tools are intact and unused. A true collector’s piece – it’s rare to find a compact of this era that is so complete, with original tools, sifter, and tag all present. The combination of Art Deco design, Egyptian Revival imagery, and ingenious multi-functionality (powder, manicure, and lipstick) makes this a stand-out treasure for serious collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike. Whether displayed on a vanity, added to a collection, or given as a special gift, it’s sure to be admired for years to come. Please see all photos for further details, including a close-up of the lipstick holder dents.
