Buyer's premium:

The collection comprises six vintage vanity and perfume items housed within a heart-shaped travel case. The case is constructed of leather or simulated leather with a hinged lid, lined internally with ruched pink satin. The contents feature an Egyptian Revival aesthetic, primarily associated with the Gabrawichi brand from Le Caire (Cairo). The six items include two circular decorative tin powder compacts, both featuring a profile of Nefertiti on the lid. One compact is currently disassembled, showing its base, lid, and a pink powder puff. Also included are three clear glass perfume or cologne bottles: one octagonal bottle, one rectangular bottle labeled Chypre B. Nessler, and one square bottle labeled EXTRAIT Bien Aimé Gabrawichi LE CAIRE. The sixth item is a small pink cylindrical container, possibly for solid perfume or lipstick.
