I collect a great many things, but something you may not be aware of is my collection of vintage powder boxes from before the Second World War, as I seldom have shared photographs of them before.
This delicious example of highly stylised Art Deco packaging at its finest arrived the other week, complete in its original mottled gold presentation box and burnt orange thin card lining which all match the powder box itself. This powder box of 'Olive Rachael' shade of Bellefleur Face Powder is unopened. It was made by Bellefleur Laboratories, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia somewhere between 1928 and 1940. The box is 46milimetres in height and 79 millimeters in depth.
